I was fortunate to win my division of the Total Body Fitness MTB Series race #1 this past Sunday. The course was extra fun to race on, as recent rains made the traction perfect. My time was 1 hour 44 minutes and it was good to put in that type of sustained effort. This race/workout will prepare me for future MTB races coming up. During the race I really suffered, and did not feel my very best. Yet I kept the pressure on as strong as I could muster, and just kept trying to charge forward as best as possible. I do find that working through the tuff times when your not feeling super good in a race is more rewarding then the races where you are feeling awesome. However, feeling awesome during a race is the ultimate sensation for a racer......
