XC Race at Northstar

Luckily I found a way to sneak in a race during the family reunion. I guess that's how I know it's a true addiction now, I look for a race wherever I go!
It was the Tara Llanes Classic at Northstar-at-Tahoe. I came in second behind Kelli Emmet. I haven't ridden much since to PCP2P so the first lap really hurt. I felt like I was moving sludge from my veins. I also left my suspension locked the whole first lap, on accident of course. Needless to say my descending improved for the next 2 laps. Once again, I'll mention that when I'm back to posting from my computer I'll link to results, my garmin file, and competitors blogs.
