MTB Race productions put on a great race in Round Valley. I ended up second behind the amazing Amanda Carey & I won $281.00!!! I'm really pleased with that result but I did have a few "learning experiences" during the race. The most important being that I burned too many matches to pass & stay in front of Amanda on the second lap and ended up paying for it with crazy leg cramps that almost took me out of the race by the 3rd lap. It was close to 30 miles and average temperature was 83 degrees, that's a long hot xc race! Here is a nice article about the race.
