Hell Week Part One

So the more pious among us call it Holy week, but the amount of sleep I've missed and the amount of things I've broken, make me think Hell Week is more appropriate.

We arrived to drizzle and wet mud.

We raced in setting, thick mud.

Despite an extra beach run and stone stairway to heaven run up, Day 2 felt a little easier to me. Despite the results, I was happy with how I raced.
Mike got married. That is rad



Next up was the Night Weasel, but before that, why not a party? Off to the RSC for a number pick up party. Free beer, a raffle, and a chance to see Mo's new bike? I am in.
