The second Snake Creek Gap Time Trail has come and gone... there was rain for two days before the event and it still didn't suck. I started off riding more conservatively, since I now knew what the course had in store for me. Riding singlespeed, on my Niner got me over plenty of slick rocks and roots that may have been troublesome otherwise. My goal coming into this event was to tie or improve slightly my previous time of 5:09, and I did exactly that. I not only improved, but didn't cramp up, and felt much better afterward. February's time: 4:52:47. One more event and I will have completed the trifecta - all three of the
Snake Creek Gap 34 mile time trial races in one year. Also known as 'The Snake 3 x 34 Challenge' (new for this year).
My Garmin GPS was down for repairs so I could not get a good track reading for this event, but I think I have fixed it and will test that tonight on a quick road ride. During a phone call today with my lovely girlfriend, I mentioned that I hadn't received the promotional materials from
Emergen-C yet, and the
Chainbuster Race was this weekend... and I told her 'I'm sure it's sitting on my front porch right now...' as I got out of the car and turned the corner to my front doorstep, there it was!
Upon opening the package, I found 500 packets of delicious Emergen-C, along with several t-shirts in different colors. I've contacted Kenny from Chainbuster Racing and let him know that I will be on-hand early at the race to distribute most of it, and I will also be handing out different flavors at my good friend Sheri's neon pink pop-up in the pit area. Come down and getcha some!!!! We'll be there racing for fun, fitness, and some free entertainment for you and the family, if you happen to be in the area!
