Well, I gave Ken and all the other young guys another chance to kick my butt on the mountain bike - and again he, and the others, didn't show up.  As I've said before Ken, your not going to get that many more shots at me before I'm too old to even suit up...

And kick my butt they would've, as did the guys who showed up to race.  It was only a few years ago when I was sprinting for the win in this race, and now I can hardly get out of my own way.  Yes, I had a terrible race and realizing just how slow I am now has not been easy!  God, going slow out there is not much fun at all...

Still, at least I was there on the starting line, and I found a way to have a little fun.  That course is so great - fast and smooth - awesome!  You should've been there.  And I managed to at least catch Fergie before he flatted - I told him not to run those tires at 20psi but he wouldn't listen!  :)  I was sorry he flatted, it was shaping up to be a battle right to the line - at least I can still contend for the over 40 title.

Next up is the Healthfx Durango Dirt Lover's Rally - Sunday, August 26th.  Register at active.com and show up for the best race in Durango.  Okay, it's the only race in Durango, but still - great course, Healthfx tshirt, food and great drawing prizes all for only $20.00 - how can you beat that?  And if that's not enough, another chance to kick my old fat butt - Ken, you're time is running out...
