It always feels good to stand on that box, especially this early in the season. It's been a long winter and the boys down south usually have a head start to the season so I was glad the SLC / UC crew represented. I counted about 20 in the SS class. I only recognized about half of them.
I felt like I had good legs but I knew I couldn't hang with Dan. He was able to put a nice gap on us early into lap 1. Must of been the 17 cog he was running (not to mention good lungs and legs). Kenny and I both ran 18's and we traded spots a couple of times during the race but he was too fast and got me by a second or two at the finish.
Despite taking 3rd, I was really happy with how the race went. I could not have gone any faster and left everything out there.
Good times catching up with all the racers.
I came home to some nice tiger stripes on my head and an instant farmer tan. It felt great to play in the warm sun.

It sounds really painful. I'm sorry I missed out on it! Hopefully Cholla is in the plans for me.
Nice job Rick. Sounds like a fast group of doods!
Rick, you animal!! Older age is treating you nicely.

Way to go. Very impressive this early in the season.
A few seconds behind Kenny? I'd take that any day. Nice work.
What Aaron said. But, all 3 of you are superhumans. Good work!
Ryan- Packer, is that you? I had no idea you had a blog. You have a new fan.
