RMEC Chadron, Nebraska 2011

This race was awesome! It was well worth the 18 hour drive that had huge wind the hole way. This race was my first time keeping endure, and I didn't even know what to do. I had a fellow racer named Jim Koch give me a crash course on the ICO computer, and then I was on my own. I was able to perfectly zero out 4 out of 7 checks, and it should have been 5 if it weren't for a cranky checkpoint worker who laughed when I put my foot down at 59 seconds, and made me burn the check, when I really zeroed it out. I was unsure how I was doing in the results, but I ended up getting 1st!! I am very happy and excited about my result! Anyway, I had a ton of fun on some awesome singletrack through the trees with nice moist loamy dirt. It was about a 100 mile race, and I felt good and strong the whole time. Thanks to everybody who helped me out, you guys are the best. Beraaaaaapp!
