I took a different approach to this years iceman. having to take on the brother battle alone i busted out the geared superfly. i figured itd help out on the flats. that it did. the pace was really quick for a while. i was hanging on to the back of the pack. ten miles in it was down to about ten or so. attacks kept goin off the front only to be reeled in. i was feelin good but content to wait in. with about six to go brian, jeremiah, and myself got a gap but i just didnt have the legs to keep the group away. it all came back and with a mile to go, eight of us were still pretty much together. just before the 2nd to last singletrack sam went down, i made it around and out the singletrack only to slide out. saddle sidways. that cost me what could have been a great race. i regrouped and chased but came up a little short. jeremiah just got away from brian. brian rolled in 2nd even after being off the bike for the week being sick. i rolled in 6th, 30 seconds down. not great but not terrible. then i managed to miss the awards while i was out eating. bummer. well, now its down to strictly cx for the next month or so. thanks to fisher for makin it happen. photo by superfly.
