If there’s one lesson to be learned from this posting is that you don’t run a 5K prior to racing in an 18 mile XC singlespeed bike race in 90 degree heat. Though admittedly a slow learner, Bruce competed in the Susan Komen 5K posting a time of 22:16 and then headed out to race in the TORC festival Mtb race at Lake Crabtree. Though holding on to third place for the majority of the race, calf muscle cramps set in during the final couple miles of the third lap dropping Bruce to fourth in the singlespeed category with at time of 1:43 minutes.

Congrats to Ernie and Charlie for their great performance at the Burn 24 Hour MTB race in Wilkesboro NC on May 26-27th. The two paired up to race in the very competitive open duo category and came up with a third place finish with 33 laps. Both of them reported having a strong but trying race with the usual symptoms of pushing the limits. Check out the burn link for complete race result: Burn24
