I’m not kidding when I tell you that the day after I posted this I woke up and my rear tire was flat. Apparently the flat gods don’t like “I told you so” posts. SIGH.

Fatty, I know you don’t read every post I do, but I did warn you several posts ago that you were boasting too much about your tubeless set up and such boasting would bring the flat gods wrath upon you!! Don’t say I didn’t warn you, you were smote!!

Actually, I do read every comment. And you were right. – FC

Oh, that bag. That smile. At least he’s got the point of riding a bike down, if not the practice.

BTW. “Finding a place” behind the women who would finish second in the pro category is something I would way be happy with. You must have been doing something right on that bike you don’t know how to ride.

“But better.”
Love it. Must apply this to something today.

Oh you didn’t! Yes you did! You said you were going to have to get better on the cross before next year! I hope that means you haven’t given up on it. :)I LOVE LOVE LOVE my cross bike. :)

Jumping up and down for joy when i read that The Hammer is going to write about her race. I so love to read her stories and I really appreciate it when she does. Also, NINE minutes!?! That’s awesomesauce!!!!

Love your recap so far. I haven’t laughed out loud this much in awhile. Glad I waited until I got home since I work in a cubicle and would have been hard to explain to my coworkers.

Just wanted to tell some folks that I did a cat 3 climb tonight (had to stop FOUR times – sheesh) and when I reached the top, it was 77 degrees. Yep, in Anchorage. At one point on my ride, it was 79.8 degrees. I know that’s nothing to all you lower-49ers, but we’ve had the worst summer ever so that was pretty freaking awesome.

Finally, DavidH, for some perverse reason (maybe meeting Fatty and the Hammer?) I’m venturing out and doing my hilly hard climbs and actually enjoying it and thinking about doing it again the very next day. I think I’ve lost my mind. Or maybe it’s the awesome ladies doing the Cannondale Revetour that are inspiring me. In any case, I think Hell has frozen over. All that to say that your crazy hell ride actually tempted me…as long as you pull me up those crazy freaky hills!

The only proven way to become better on a ‘cross bike is to race ‘cross. See you this fall. See the IT Guy was a great moment in the race for me. I heard him before I saw him. and then I saw a giant ball of flame descending toward me. “What the…” He had a big stupid grin on his face, like he knew exactly how ridiculous he looked, which put a big ridiculous grin on my face.

It was fun hanging out with you and your family. What a great event. And congrats to all 3 of you! How many times does everyone in one car finish an endurance race?

How did the IT Guy “like” the washboards on the FS rig? (Or will that be part of The Hammer’s recap?)

So next year what does ‘third from last’ get you for a race number??

@NYCarlos Choice!

and if Faty needs pie I think we still have one or two left in the freezer.
