Last weekend was Clemson. It was hot! This year they switched the course to the other side of the lake so they could do an Xterra race the day before. I was disappointed because I love that old course so I was skeptical. However, this course was not too bad. I would have enjoyed it more if it was broken in more-I think the course was cut 6 weeks ago. But, it was still a lot of fun. It had a bunch of everything. Lots of climbing (fire roads with no shade), tight new trail, and some fast down hill.
The race started out well. I was second in the trail and then it opened up to a fire road really quick. Tiffany and I rode away on the fire road climb. I thought we would ride most of the lap together but I was climbing well and got some time between us. I was able to do okay in the tight new sections, I needed someone in front of me to keep the pace up. I ended up staying away for the second lap and finally got my win! It's a good way to start my vacation! I am heading up to New York for a week with my sister Susie. I'm excited!
Reid did awesome this weekend too. He got fourth in his race which is a hard category...
