Put Yo Game Face On!

Tomorrow is race day! I'm so stoked. It seems like it has been years since a race. The Spa City Six Hour is a fantastic first race of the year. Fun format, great trail, relaxed atmosphere. There will be super tough competition there so you can get serious if you want, or you can stop between laps and drink a beer. Me? I'm going to first and foremost have fun. Remind me of this tomorrow when I'm getting super anal about my pre-race routine...Seriously, I'm going to treat this like a good training ride. 6+ hours at a strenuous pace. Hopefully that will translate into a good race time. But I'm also going to be experimenting with nutrition, equipment, tire pressure, fork setup, etc in hopes of figuring out my sweet spot for the OC and Syllamo's Revenge. Either way, it will be fun. The weather will be nice (anything's an improvement from last year's snow), there will be a ton of cool people, we'll be riding mountain bikes, and I'm bringing beer. Is it even possible for this not to be a great day?
