team oXXygen is back and we had an awesome time at Hardwood Hills, ranking 7/10. We all improved our times from last year (i was 15 minutes faster in my best lap, woohoo!) and we all enjoyed the course.

my own little mini race report: i was fourth up, sipping on my Eload, and chewing on my Clif bar waiting for my rider to come in. the first part of the race loop is on wood chips (ugh), and i just felt my power was being sucked away by the terrain, then came the fun stuff. awesome single track, and i fleeeeew! even on the uphills, whatever i couldn't do, i just got off my bike and ran (which i don't usually do). my second lap wasn't as great, it was at 3 AM, and i felt a bit tired. i ended up running out of light about 2 km before the end of the lap which kinda messed things up a bit. My third and final lap, i was tired, BUT, i felt kinda happy and relaxed. i enjoyed myself, took it easy. i got some air in the BMX section along with some cheering from the croud. my team mates cheered me on at the half way point and greeted me at the end. all in all...FUN FUN FUN!
