Arctic MTB Race 1

A non-event for me. I had a virus in the top of my lungs and couldn’t really breath. My legs seemed to work OK, but overall I felt more out of shape for this time of year than I have in many years (2011?) and the course was mild, so I signed up knowing I would never be able to open it up, but that the course would be a good one, at over 6 miles per lap. It was at the time, likely the hardest ride effort-wise I had yet done on my hard tail, and to an extent, all season.
