well sorry i haven't updated the blog in awhile. unfortunately we didn't have internet at the house we were staying at. but now that i have 6 hours to kill in the charlotte airport i figure i can catch up on lost time.
the team rolled into banner elk north carolina thursday afternoon and got settled into our pretty kush digs. we woke up the next morning to almost an inch and a half of rain that turned the race into an absolute slop fest.
the endurence riders took the xc track at 8am and threw down in a pretty heavy downpour.
kevin mullervy, a roadie convert posted the best result for d2 men with a 23rd.
brent steinburg finished 30th while connor mullervy rolled into 38th.
unfortunately zach logan suffered a mechanical and wasn't able to finish.
the downhill track was amazing! even in the mud the course was super fun. the wet roots and rocks mixed with deep mud made for a hell of a good race! the whole way down we had smiles that only went away when a giant glob of mud found its way into our helmets. SUPER SICK!
the only problem was the cold. after three runs we couldn't feel our hands enough to brake or shift, or even hold onto the bars. thats when grif took his spill over the bars and we called it a day before anyone got hurt before the race runs the next day.
