Iron Cross Report - 2008/10/12 21:35
I completed my 2nd Iron Cross today. 62 miserable miles includes sweet singletrack, fast roads, heinous gravel downhills, a horrid hike-a-bike, and 6000ft of climbing. I raced smart and got in with fast guys at the beginning, worked with a few guys in the middle, and met up with friends Steve and Todd before the 2.5 mile steep ass climb at mile 40. I scorched a downhill, barely navigating a high speed turn (whew!) and was alone and picking off people until the last 4 miles when I caught a guy filming with a 'beer hat' setup with a video camera on each side - wild. I pulled him to the finish - sub 5 hours, very respectable. I already hurt though. It was a beautiful day in Michaux!
