I think I ended up around 7th again today(again, not a surprise based on how my race went) but I had a great time and I wanted to keep riding after I finished! It’s weird not to be contending for the podium. I know why I am tired and I wish I showed up rested with my A-game. It’s also nice in a way because it’s not as stressful during the race.
There are 5 days to go. ANYTHING can happen. My goal right now is the same as it was when I signed up for this race. Get some great training(followed by a big rest block) , experience what PA singletrack has to offer, have a GREAT time riding out here, meet some new people, and do my best.

As you can see, I wasn’t bummed at the finish!
I will not get discouraged, nor will I give up. I can’t wait to ride my bike AGAIN tomorrow!
