IS THIS PROOF IT PAYS TO PRE-RIDE?
THE FIRST WORDS OUT OF MY BUDDY'S MOUTH, well, they kinda hurt. When it comes from someone else...
... it stings a little more than it should.
I gotta ask...
Ok...
How did you get second place again?!
Ouch.
Somehow it's not as funny as when I'm mocking myself.
But, some times we need salt in the wound to dig a little deeper.
Is there a common denominator?
Over the last year, 5 of 7 A races,
- MTB XC Nationals in CO
- Leadville
- US CUP XC
- CA State Road Champs
- Sea Otter Fuego XC
... I was beat by a local or a returning ex-pro.
Is that the difference?
The first two, was a CO local who lived in Leadville for 15 years.
US CUP ex-pro who has raced the courses many more times.
CA State, local.
Sea Otter, local.
It's weird.
I know.
You got a better idea?
Yeah, they were faster and better.
