Utah

Mesa state got good results this weekend in Utah. Saturday was a late start with the Men's A starting at 1:10. It was the Hell Of the North road race, it was 5 mile laps and part of the course was dirt, it was not hard dirt but loose gravel, it was almost a single track the whole dirt section. There was a few parts were your bike would just fishtail. The race started with a Fort Lewis attack, but closed quickly. Then it was perfect Chris was out on an attack and doing well then his hub locked up and had to wait for the support car to come which took forever so he was out of the race just finished solo. After that the whole field broke apart, it was Conor Two fort Lewis guys and me chasing the break, the fort Lewis guys had a free ride because they had a guy up the road so they didn't work. Then Mitch a DU and Utah guy got on our group, then a few laps later the Fort Lewis guys jumped and i got on here wheel and after a little bit couldn't hold on so they got free and i dropped back with they group that i was with before. we tried to pull them back but just dropped two other guys in our group, so it was just Mitch DU and me with two laps to go. Then in our 3 man sprint it was me, Mitch then Du. so i took 6Th overall and 2ND in D2. it was a good race. then a few hours later we had a TTT witch i was not looking forward to, i was so tired. it was about 13 miles or so, Mesa did good we got 2ND overall and 1st in D2. then today was a hill climb, climbing is not my strength, so i fell off the back of the pack half way up or so and just kept rolling. Mitch did good with a 7Th pace finish. so it was a good weekend for Mesa, next weekend is Air Force and CC race. Today is my B-Day the big 19.
