    Summer Scramble: MTN Creek Race Recap

    I know my legs are still fried from the Stewart 45. I know that I’m mentally and physically in need of recovery time after the final peak of the my season in Boston. I know this, I do, but I just can’t help racing the summer scramble – this course is just too fun to pass up. So, off season can start tomorrow. 🙂

    Ok, I think the season is really over now.

    Guys Neshimany: Race Recap

    Still feeling the high from the Stewart 45, I’m anxious to race again – even though my coach advised I take some time off. Sure enough, legs were feeling totally fried for this race,. I couldn’t get my bike up to speed and the bulk of the race I felt like a slug. As best I could, I tried to keep any momentum I could scrounge up rolling through this playground of a course. Lots of pumping, fast turns and one heck of a switchback in the Mexican Bow Tie brought a smile to my face. The day wasn’t a total loss – as I managed a 5th place finish. Ok, off season, here I come.
