More Race Recap from the Weekend Part 2

The off-road report .... (JW & crew killin it .. again!) ....

Jeff W., lovely wife, Katina, and friend, Fizz, drove Sunday morning to the eastern part of the state of the 2nd race in the H2H mountain bike series. The race took place at the infamous Tymor Park, for those of you who remember this race from the NYS mountain bike series. With 1200' of climbing per 7 mile lap and a course that was rain soaked the night before, it turned out to be nothing less than an epic day of riding complete with exposed roots, rocks, and slick conditions. Jeff and Fizz did the cat. 1 SS division race which had 10 starters and Katina did the cat. 1 expert women's 40+ race. We all commented that this was one of the largest race turnouts we had seen for quite a while and the caliber of racing was very high. Jeff ended up 5th (and on the podium), Fizz was 9th and Katina was psyched to finish 3rd. In front of Katina were two national champions and on Katina's last lap, she was within sight of the 2nd place gal. Due to the course conditions, we were all out on the course between 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Tough day.
