Started out moderately hard then at the first good stretch of double track I caught up with a thin dude on a Cannondale 29er in the rock garden who wanted me not to pass. It was fun and we were fairly well matched: on downhill he pulled away a little but I almost caught up uphill. My downhill skilz are lacking so I chill and try to make it up going uphill and ride as smoothly as I can recovering for the next climb. Lung Buster hill gave me the passing hole and i took it passing near the top of the climb. I never ride this hard at FH

Walked halfway down cause I crashed hard in Feb and am still nervous. That 6x6 post sent me over the bars. A few ropes between the trees would make more sense. Give the crasher something to grab. Gate to gate 53:30, my best yet. 3 more minutes and I will be getting pretty fast.
