What was the problem?
I was hauling ass. I rode the top of the course solid and at a respecable pace. When the time came to climb, I gave it everthing and did better then I have in years. I was on track for a great finish an a great time.
3rd Devide. If you know this trail, then you know truely scary speed. I was half way down, hauling serious ass but riding smooth. I aired out a section and came down on a rock at top speed. Instantly, front and rear tire go flat.
"I'm out. Fuck!" Only one tube left, 'cause I got 7 flats in practice over the two days before the event. It takes me a minute or two to regain composure. I decide to fix the rear. While fixing the rear I realize that I really have to keep racing.
