A Thursday new-bike build with a 10pm departure put our arrival at Durango Mountain Resort (Purgatory) just a bit behind schedule and we didn't end up getting to bed until about 5:30am on Friday morning. Friday morning was amazing and we put in a quick ride to make sure that the literally just built bikes were up to the task... follow that with a quick nap.. and you're ready to go 24 hour adventure racing.
Luckily, I was able to keep busy by replacing chains, watching chipmunks, searching for lost racers on my mid-race bike ride, driving, chatting with other support crews, and most importantly... making the guy who ruined my morning tell me to go away after a bout of caffeine fueled agression on my part.
Brooks and Tiff had a great race, loved their new bikes, and didn't accidentally kill any critters during their slog through the wilderness! More sleep please!!!
