Hurricane Hills was a good time this year.  The track extended all the way up the second hill AND used the flat track portion of the complex, then came back down to the main area. 

Mark and I camped out in the bus Friday night.  Mark cooked up some chicken on the grill while I unloaded the bus and cooked up some mashed potatoes and rice.  We ate like Vikings.

With the bunk beds now built in the bus Mark was able to sleep with little thought about what storm might roll in.  On Saturday morning he even told me not to change a thing about them - as it was the best nights sleep he has ever had on our camping trips.

While I enjoyed the comfort of the bus, Mark’s good company, and hanging out with all of the other racers, I do have to say that the racing took a toll on me this time.  Gym time has been very scarce for me, and my performance showed it.  I could only run with the pack for maybe a lap, then I had to go into basic survival mode to even hang on for the rest of the race.  I was embarrassed.

Time to get back to the gym…….

Even with my poor conditioning I managed to keep the lead in overall points in the EVO +40 class and really put myself in a solid second place overall in the EVO Open Novice class. 

Southwick is right around the corner on August 8th - hope that the curse of the Wick does not eat me up again this year!
