Pro/ semi Pro

This race is like a rollercoaster ride. A lot of fast descents with dips and berms,
There are two good sized climbs that weren’t ski mountain big but big enough that you needed to sit down and find a good steady pace.
I started in near the rear. I was back and forth with several riders though out the race Greg Carpenter, Harry Precourt and Jeffrey Whittingham.
The race was cut short due to lighting and thunder, an official was @ the last climb to telling riders they were finishing a lap early before they finished. Greg was pretty close behind me and though he wasn’t able to catch me he was defiantly closing the gap despite my best efforts. So maybe it was beneficial for me to have the last lap cut off.
Here is how it fished
1st John Foley
2ndEthan Gilmour
3rd Nathan Ringquist
4th Bradford Perley
5th Michael Mooradian
6th Kevin Hines
7th ME
all the results
There are a lot of really fast 19 year olds in this race that have recently moved up from juniors.
Ethan won the national championships last year as a junior, Greg came in second @ the national championships, and the 4th finisher place in this race Bradford Perley is also is super fast. I saw Brad just ahead on the 3rd lap, he couldn’t have been more that 10 seconds in front of me and he fished 2.5 minutes ahead of me. he put in a retarded fast last lap, I was really impressed.
I should go around collecting autographs before these guys get too good to talk to me.
Next race is mount snow (not the national race the regional one). i wonder if there will be any big name pros @ this one getting ready for the national race?
A few would be nice.
