headed up to wausau yesterday with the focus full of bike love. boys went and pre rode the course. amanda and i walked around and soon became the food of many mosquitos. headed back to the car. boys came back saying it was going to be a tough course. dinner, hotel, mini wine bottles consumed the rest of the night. morning comes nerves flowed through all of us like surges from electricity. amanda and i became and nervous as the guys were. got a good hand off section. were pretty prepared for the weather. not totally though. sundays have become a notorious rain day. boys go. jesses leading the pack strong and quick as amanda hands a water bottle and almost gets taken down by the guys behind jesse. fuck. wheres mark? he passes and normally doesnt take anything the first lap. i still had something in my hand. he passes... points to his knee and i thought he pointed to his water bottles, or there the lack of water bottles. i almost shit my pants. then i catch him on the other side that swoops through. later amanda tells me that he had blood coming down his knee. sweet. marko always tends to thrash his body. i am just happy i didnt see the spill. keeps going he starts catching other guys. both guys are just hammering. jesse comes through on the third laps and looks like he is in pain. marko comes buy takes water. due to the slippery conditions i almost bit hard but caught myself with my knee. nice. last lap comes and bmatter is in the lead hammering and spinning his shit. were looking for jesse. i see the 29er jersey but the pink helmet. MARKO! hell yeah. he is in second. i was so stoked i was shaking. and so nervous too. damn.
marko take second my 53seconds behind matter. beautiful. a fun wet cold day turned out glorious. jesse made it through bonking pretty much the last lap but still pulled out a finish of 7th. not bad considering a single speed rider pulled everyone the first three laps. hell yeah!
both guys killed it. the bkb way. and 29er skillz.
