Rookie Mistake in Rainy Raid Pulse Race

Submitted by steve on Mon, 2009-05-25 23:18

Howdy race fans! Hope you all had an excellent long weekend. It was certainly a roller coaster of weather out there, but there was enough good and mediocre to go around I think. Although this post will mainly be about my race experience over the weekend, there were certainly a few other things that were pretty fun for me. I helped Haggaret work on his deck for a while. Went out for a nice supper at Milestone's with Jody, rented The Wrestler, did a whole pile of outdoor work getting the deck ready for the summer, and even managed to head out to see Star Trek on the big screen. Yippee! Originally I had planned to also do a whole pile of training, but in the end, after the race, I opted to just stick around home and spend some quality time with the family :-) While I could go on about all that stuff, I'll just stick to the race story. As with many of my race stories, you can first check out some pictures from the event, as well as check out the results if you can't wait. As a special bonus for this one, I also managed to get pretty much the whole thing mapped out, so you can see where we were, and what we were up against. When you're done checking all that stuff out, come on back and read the rest of my story.
