Here are some pictures form the Brookside mud/snow fest taken by Luther Prater and Andy Payne. I forgot to mention in the last post the amount of pain my feet were in once feeling started coming back to them post race; walking was difficult. My hands hurt very bad and it was hard to brake/shift (read: use my hands) for a lap or so ~2 laps in. But they stopped hurting and didn't hurt at all once I got warm inside, which kind of scared me. But they seem fine (as do my feet)
(the start)
(it was so muddy that my glasses were getting covered and I had to pitch them into the snow so I could see[I had to do this both days])
(approach to the stair run up)
(Josh and I rounding a corner before the off-camber downhill being cheered on by friend Will Shreman)
(back side of the course)
(approach to stair run up again. My face looks crazy because I'm yelling "other side" to the pits [it's a dual entry pit and I didn't want to pit before running up the stairs, I wanted to pit on the other side so I could ride and ride out])
(Josh and on the pavement. Most likely at the finish judging by our gritted-out faces)
(Josh leading on the back of the course. I'm either signaling to the pit or wiping my nose.)
(the Motley pit Crue going to town on my ice berg bike)
(more of the Motley Crue. The dude in the beer stein hat, Scott Perry, made it easy to spot whether or not our bikes were ready because all we had to do was look for a 6' tall beer goblet standing at the ready) You can see in the background of both pit pics that the people working the pits were busy.
