Long story short, our hero Brian took 4th in the race (his hardest race of the year) and 5th overall in the series. He even got a pink ribbon for his effort.
The race was at the Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah. The course was 16.5 miles long, which might not seem that long, but throw in over 1,000 feet of elevation gain per lap and 3 laps and you have yourself one tough cookie! To put this into perspective, Big Cottonwood Canyon gains about 3500 feet over about 16 miles. This course gained that much elevation in half the distance, on rocky singletrack!
Yada, yada, yada. Enjoy the pics!

Our hero in the "tweety chair." For some reason, 4th place gets the chair.

After all of that, I would WANT to sit down. It looks like the "tweety chair" is the best place to be. Great job Brian and awesome shots Cheryl!
