The season is quickly coming to a close, and Chris has nearly completed his goal of racing every MSC race this year! That's 10 races this year... only missing the Rabbit Valley TT due to a nasty spring snowstorm. Chris decided to keep his streak alive and secure his spot on the overall podium by racing the XC at Sol Vista.
After my killer weekend at the Copper Cup, I decided to end my XC campaign for the year, and just race the Super-D at Sol Vista for fun! I was more than happy to just hike around the mountain taking pictures of Chris! He did great in his race, and while keeping a relaxed attitude, had lots of fun!
It was COMotion's annual team and sponsor BBQ... there was lots of good grub, recovery beverages, and great times!
The next morning, Bubba and I headed up the mountain for a few warm-up runs for the Super-D. Chris let me ride his Yeti 575- it is definitely the perfect bike for Super-D... burly, but lightweight.
It was quite a change sprinting downhill, rather than grinding uphill! (Although a bit more dangerous for me, as I crashed several times in the warm-ups... good thing nothing worse than bruises though!) The race began with a LeMans start, and it was just us 2 girls... I had a 50/50 chance of winning!
I cruised the first half of the race, before pinning it on the slight uphill portion, and sealing the deal.
My first Super-D, and I won! What an adrenalin rush! It was a blast! Next year I'm getting my own Yeti 575, and definitely making Super-D part of my race plans!
