Stanky Creek Time Trial

I placed third at the Stanky Creek time trial today in a field of six riders for my group. My time was 14:24 over three miles, which is just absolutely pathetic. I know climbers are notoriously bad time-trialist, but I’m still disappointed with my performance. I never knew how hard to push it so basically raced my regular cross-country speed.

Maybe I’ll have better luck tomorrow in the cross-country race, but I doubt it. This trail is pancake flat (except for one downhill on the XC course) and doesn’t favor me at all.

This is one of the monkeys scattered around the course.


This is the "big downhill" on the XC course for Sunday.
