Wild 100 Yowi Zowi!

As if I didn't have enough adventure material to write about already. Today I raced, and some how won, the solo division of the Wild 100 backcountry orienteering race in West Virginia. I got lost right at the very end of this beast and did bushwhack the wrong way through private property, barbed wire, a dried slimy river bed and through every imaginable sharp and tangled vegetation you could conjure up.

I was lucky enough to follow the leading duo teams into the last 20 miles.
Did I mention I crashed? Yeah, I splayed out on some muddy rocks and should have gotten a lot worse off than I did. I just have a few bumps and scrapes. The mud allowed me to slide over the terrain a little more smoothly dare I use that adverb.

Tomorrow I will do my best to defend the home turf at my local race, the 18th annual Massanutten Hoo-Ha. It's cool riding to the race as a warm up.

Later JB

The Hat Trick! Brian Head, Utah

So, in hockey it's what you call it when you score 3 goals in a game. My hat trick was to get on the podium 3 times in 24 hrs!

I was so close to pulling it off, I thought getting the top five in the short track would be near impossible but there I was and even jumped to close the gap, riding in 2nd in the middle of the race. Wow, I had an amazing weekend. You should have seen the looks I got when I passed the lazy lead pack at mach 5! Needless to say, I'm not superman so the move didn't stick. In fact, Kabush and then JHK attacked me the next lap like a swarm of pissed off hornets.

I managed to snag an amazing 2nd place in the 26-mile xc and won the toughest race of the weekend, the Marathon, that was 55 miles of high country and Alpine vistas like I have never seen before.

Many thanks to Poz, Chris "the Furry" and of course Zach Vestal and Dave "the Kid" Meadows for their part in making it all come together.

I need a nap bad, Erin will write the rest. Peace....
