Utah State Championship

Saturday was the Chris Allaire Memorial/Utah State Championship mountain bike race at Solitude Mountain Resort and yours truly took 3rd place! That's right, my best finish of the year!

It was a very tough course too. 2,849 feet of total elevation gain, 1665 calories burned, 2 hours 4 minutes and 36 seconds, and 16.17 miles. I felt good the whole race and was able to maintain a pretty good pace, but sure paid for it when I finished. I got some pretty bad cramps in my legs as soon as I got off my bike when the race ended. Ouch!

Anyway, enjoy the pictures as always (beware: they are 21 megapixel photos if you click them!)

So you let a guy that has lost almost all of his hair beat you?

That just means he had less weight so he could go faster!
