USGP--Portland Cup

A few weeks off from racing since the Cross Crusade series ended.  This was a nice break and I was trying to stay in shape and get ready for the off-season by running every day for 5 miles.  This was mildly successful, usually each week I would get in 3~4 days a week.   My bad.

Overall I was having a bad race, mechanical problems with the bike on various fronts.  A course that I would normally do well on.  A fun course that sent us through a moto-cross course with lots of fun burms and a roller coaster type track.  Overall I was off, nothing was working right. 

This was a race where I wanted to quit, I wasn't having fun and generally was annoyed life.  I decided to stick it out and finished.  Not a winning and not worth a lot of write-up.
