| Notes |
Sloppiest trail ever imagined. mostly a walk-n-bike. At about mile 2.5/3, rode through a swarm of what I thought were flies in the mud, but were actually YELLOW JACKETS! Bees stung my thighs in 4 different locations, and flew up into my helmet, where I was stung 5 times- neck, ear, and scalpx3. Had to ride the rest of the way out in half-tears. SO PISSED because I was 5+ minutes ahead of the only other girl in my class. Even after taking 5 minutes on the course to scream in agony and swat bees out of my helmet, I was still very far ahead of her as I pulled into the finish line after my first lap. I probably would and beaten her by 10 minutes if I hadn’t been stung so many times. |
