That is what I was thinking as I went around what was probably the longest 5 mile trail I have had to race this season. I remember why I said last season if I hadn't missed a race by this point I would use this as my drop! The layout was a little different this year as we just had the two laps instead of the short lap added on to the standard lap to make the distance. That gave all the riders the chance to do all the hills twice...YEA! Granny was getting rode hard on the second lap, I went with a plan on the second lap I would either be in the big ring or granny gear which seemed to work well for me considering the finish. I am considering running the SERC race at Clemson this weekend coming up and using that as a makeup for the Ft Mountain Race but that would cost me 15 bonus points which I might need so I will have to work the math and see.
Either way this week I plan on spinning the legs out this week and thitting a spin session or two during PT if I can. I have the ARMY Birthday run this Friday which I was planning on running with my son as a fun run and just have a good time. Hopefully I will have a decision for this weekend by then and figure out what I am going to do, I hear it is a pretty fun and fast course so I know I would enjoy the course regardless. The finish definitely made the drive worth it and the race was definitely a challenge and one fo those courses when you finish you know you earned it. So if your out there on Wendseday I Will See You on the Trail!

Great Job Chris! You beat Second place by almost 15 min! Now MOVE UP to Sport! Sandbagger!
Thanks Dean, the only reason I did that was because the usual 1st,2nd, 3rd, 4th place guys decided to take the week off so I don't really think that is a good representation of the field there even though the 2nd place finisher is a pretty strong rider. I am going to enjoy the podium finishes this year and go back to getting my butt handed to me next year!
