I did better, but still captured 'Last ?ss in the class'.
I did a time of 1:58:02. My lap times were about
the same at approx. 40 minutes each. There were 9
of us Veterens (35-44) year olds.
I was trading last place with a guy when I realised that
he was wearing a shirt from the local bike store, Valley
Bike of Latrobe. It turned out he is Tom Petro from
Bolivar. Anyway, we talked for most of the 2nd lap when
we came upon a guy, Bill Lamar, who needed help. He said
his chain had broken and asked if we had a tool. Tom kept
going and I stopped to help.
In about 5 or 10 minutes (I wish I knew) we had his chain
together and Bill was off. There I was in last place
again. I mention Bill by name because he went on to 2nd
place in the 35-44 year old class. Yes, I helped Bill
beat me. How the guy went from next to last to 2nd is
amazing. An athelete for sure.
Nick finished
3rd out of 4 in his class. He got
himself a cool medal and some nice mountain bike related
prizes. Nick improved his time from 47:08 to 43:29.
Way to go Nick. Email Nick at [email protected] but realize he won't answer.
