Addison Oaks 6 hour Endurance Race

Well I wasn't sure if I wanted to race the endurance race... Last year I wasn't to excited after I finished the race. Since I was feeling pretty good on wednesday after riding to and from school, I decided to give it a go. Friday, after school, I went to install new rear brake pads and noticed that one of the pistons weren't moving. I squeezed the brakes a few times and only one moved... and it move a lot, enough to leak some oil. I ruined the pressure needed to close the brakes and called the shop. Thanks RBS for fixing my mistakes all the time. The did it at 6:30 that night and stayed there till it was done... which was after closing time. I had my normal pre-race breakfast and went to the course at 8:30, registered and started at 10:00. My goal was 10 laps and the longer I rode, the more I doubted that I could do it. I only stopped a minute or two each time and most was to stretch my back because it was hurting pretty bad. I felt really good on lap 3 and 6 and pushed hard on those two laps. Jen and Art showed up and I saw them in the woods a few times and on my way around I then noticed that Rich and Brandy had showed up. Thanks! For lap 9, I had about 35-40 minutes to make it back to the finish line to get another lap in. I was getting tired and was slowing down, especially in the new section. I made it with 30 seconds to spare and rode my last lap slow... around 45 minutes but made it.. I made my goal of 10 laps coming in 2nd place. Miles to date: 595
