It was one RIPPIN course, a 12 minute 5k.!!! I pretty much went with the goal of going as hard as I could the entire time, knowing there was no time to conserve energy. As Erik Flora would say, “go like-a-hell”. After 12 minutes of aggressive V2ing, some solid hop skating, some seriously gnarly corners, and one super steep climb- I crossed the line 5th place, only 3 seconds out of 2nd. What this means is tomorrow’s handicap start is going to make for some exciting times. divdivbr //divdiva onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l4L_01UOs1s/TQ1ZBu8aoTI/AAAAAAAAAk4/AI6U15DripY/s1600/DSC_1493.JPG”img src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l4L_01UOs1s/TQ1ZBu8aoTI/AAAAAAAAAk4/AI6U15DripY/s320/DSC_1493.JPG” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552191801933865266″ style=”display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px; ” //a/divdivFor tomorrows 10k classic, from what I have heard, Holly will go out first, I will head out second-7 seconds back, and Diggins will be close behind-12 seconds back from me. From there out, girls are packed in super tight. The first one to cross the line wins the overall tour. Should be some fun times!/divdiv style=”text-align: left;”br //diva onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l4L_01UOs1s/TQ1Zu1QNfOI/AAAAAAAAAlI/RSz0nunlryU/s1600/DSC_1770.JPG”img src=”http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_l4L_01UOs1s/TQ1Zu1QNfOI/AAAAAAAAAlI/RSz0nunlryU/s320/DSC_1770.JPG” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552192576721616098″ style=”display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 232px; height: 320px; ” //adiv style=”text-align: center;”span class=”Apple-style-span” style=”font-weight: bold;”Congrats to APU skiers H.
