dry creek TT

the dry creek TT is the bench mark for a short threshold workout measurement. back in the day i would ride this trail 4 or 5 times a week in the same direction. trying to milk every corner and climb for seconds. eventually i got it down to 28 mins. from the U block (dry creek canyon) over to the pavement in city creek. today i ripped it pretty fast on the climb just about 30 seconds off my best time from 3 years ago. its a short climb, under 10 mins. usually 8 if i flat haul ass. but the good thing is i wasnt maxed or feeling like throwing up at the top which usually is the case when i pin it. so im still feelin good like 2 days ago and tomorrow is virtually a guaranteed win. racin is racin and you never know what can happen. its all in my control and hopefully tomorrow the race report will be perfect. i have some nay sayers about how much shit i talk but really its for me, to motivate me and not come up with any excuses. so its all fun and its just a bike race so get over it and i encourage smack talk. it doesnt hurt anyone and even if you predict your own future more power to you. so shoot for the moon and make your history books. dont let others direct your future. its a free country and i will do as i please. im bringin my big bag of pain.

heres the fastest xc bike on the planet.



my prediction for the real fast guys is jones then bart maybe within 20 sec. of each other. bg hates to be counted out but this course favors him more than jones so if he has the power he should hang tough but i still think jones will win. bg may prove me wrong. he is tenacious.
