Prestart... chatting with Taylor |
|

|
Taylor digging in at the start. He took off really fast! |
|

|
Coach Jessie slamming through the puddle. |
|
|
|
 |
|
I didn't know whether it was faster going through the puddle or around it. Here I try going through it. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Going into the puddle, you just don't know if you're going to come out as Taylor demonstrates... |
|

Ray attacking a corner... |

Coach Jessie weaving through the bike eating ice plant. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Go around the ice plant or go through it? Here I am going through it. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Taylor tried going around it. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Steep hill then these barriers... Oy! This was a real lung burning part of the course. We all hated it. |

Crossing the start/finish on my second lap. |

|
It's getting harder to look cheerful. |

|
Coach Jessie going wider around the ice plant this time. |
|

|
Not much further... |

Tim putting on a charge. |
|

 |
|
Taylor on the attack. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Tim was really good at taking the barriers. You can see my head behind him. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Only one time more through this torture chamber... |
|
|
|
 |
|
I don't know this guy but he's a monster. Dad took his picture. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Coach Jessie trying a different approach to taking the puddle. |
|
|
|
 |
|
I'm so wet and muddy now that I don't care. This was my last time through here. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Taylor trying to go straight through. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Hmmmm..... Is it over? Can I open my eyes yet? |
|
|
|
 |
|
Taylor in the barriers. Almost done. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Here we are coated in mud. Sure glad that's over. Only one race to go for this season. Then I get to sleep in on Sundays again. That is unless everyone talks me into this mountain bike racing stuff. |
