Local race Back in May of '05.
Running about 4th off the start (we're flying downhill; your's truly heading for the cameraman
)
One more shot before the SHTF.
Everyone you saw in the pic above and the 2 guys next to me (#72, 88, 300, and 33) hit the ground at the bottom of the hill. We were run into a mud bog and they weren't prepared for it. As soon as the guys in front of me started hitting the mud, I held 'er wide and made it out of the mud in first place.
Said mud bog at the end of the first lap.
Just another part of the trail (only 50yds from the mud)
Coming out of that same section on the next lap.
Coming out of another mudhole.
Last lap. I'm dead. It was 90 degrees out, no wind, and I got a hole in my waterbag halfway through the first lap. This is 8 laps leter (approximately 5 or 6 miles per lap). I nearly passed out after the checkered flag. But I finished DAMMIT!!
The Moose Run, June 4th, 2005.

What you don't see is the deluge that started about 45 seconds after the start. Here's after the first lap.
Bike got thirsy
Gotta make up some time now!!
I ended up winning this one.
