Mt. Snow Picture!
Finally! Just got heads up from a friend that this picture was up (courtesy of "mrbgdkmn" on photobucket).
I was serious when I said I'd only prepared for a Super D and not a full downhill:
- single crown bike (WAY too small for this course)
- weeny XC helmet (you've seen the pics and know what we usually wear)
- NO body armor (meaning chest/spine/shoulder pressure jacket, I did have the shinny's and elbows)
- Goggles
- Skinsuit and ribbons, I was serious about just tooling down the course and having fun
- Wrist splints aren't very visible but I'm in them!
All that and I didn't qualify last, and in the race i finished last but was only off pace by about 30 seconds. Not shabby! Super fun:
