If you do have news though, does that make it even better? I'm going to go with it. Six hours of Power went well. After the run and getting on the bike I was sitting around 30ish of 80ish. The first mile is a fireroad climb up the slopes of Holiday Valley. I stomped my way up it on the single speed passing at fair share and being passed by no one. The extra fast guys are also extra fast on the run; who knew? The conditions were pretty abysmal from the previous nights rain and hail. It's still a level playing field though, everyone has to deal with it. I rolled into the transition tent nine and a half miles later and in the top ten with a time of 55:58. This would be the second fasted single speed lap of the day behind Ryan Gotch. (yaay) Jeremy was no where to be found. Ha. We traded off and on a few times, each of us dealing with the declining conditions. I ended up not eating enough before my third lap and found myself dreaming of cheeseburgers halfway through. That's when I know I'm in trouble.
Next on the agenda is the Wild 100 at Elk River in WV. Chrissy and I are teaming up for the self guided, six checkpoint, "find your way there in order; we'll provide the map", slaughter of 62 miles (100k) of Snowshoe back country. TJ and Travis won male duo last year and I fully expect them to do well this time around...as well.
Seven Springs 24 is coming up at the end of the month. Can't wait.
Michaux.
Oh yeah, I ride for Trek of Pittsburgh now. Get into it.

Cheeseburgers are the devil! I think every race I've done, at SOME point in the race I start dreaming of meat.
Good luck at the 100. Don't get lost! ;)
Cool deal with T.O.P. too. You deserve it.
