Just like 2013's first race, I came out of the gate eager to do well…and just like last year's first race, I was a little too eager. Racing this race made me realize my exuberance for AR and competition can (and does) get in the way if not held in check.
AR is a sport of wits as well as speed. Combine the two flawlessly, and it's likely you'll win. I train all winter anticipating my first race of the season, and 2 seasons in a row, I've accidentally left the wits at home :-/ This race also reinforced the fact that in AR…even if it looks like you're doing poorly, if you keep plugging away, the results may surprise you.
I raced for 23 and a half hours with Thomas Mckeen. We had a blast, and to our surprise, ended up winning our division and getting 4th overall!
Too Cool Racing put on a top notch race and we had a blast. Read below for more details and pictures!
