Heidi and Sasha Kill it...I drink

Colorado State MTB Champs....beautiful day, my last in Boulder, and yes...we convinced Heidi to race Single Speed...NOICE!! Josh and I arrived at Eldora just in time for the start of the Expert/SS class, leaving us barley enought time to run to the first climb in order to properly heckle Heidi as she rolled it on the PUSS...Josh gave feed zone a new meaning by trying to feed Heidi...uh...carrot cake. Nice one Josh...we were supposed to trying to feed her beer, but our slack asses were too late to get to Dale's beer tent to have proper supplies, so Josh tried to force the last of his breakfast on her.
Josh and I then proceed to hike the entire course heckling anyone who passes us...this is pretty big bike race, so there was a fair amount of heckling to be done. The Pro women started as well...by the first climb, Katie Compton had a 3 minutes on second place. Why is she so fast? How can I be like her and still retain my manjunk? By the end, she flogged the rest of the pros by more than 10 minutes...OUCH! Heidi was still gettin' it done...killing it on the SS. Up one technical climb Josh puts a dollar bill in his fly, to entise the ladies to make a quick buck...then we started our hike back to the finish....here's an aside..HIKING SUCKS! When you have cyclists knees and tight IT bands and inflexible Hamstrings...it just sucks. But we make it back to find Dave (The Jersey Ditch Snake) and Shannon at the finish...oh, and of course a few Dale's Pale Ales. Heidi comes across the line in 2nd...NICE WORK! (hence the podium shot above), and her lovely daughter Sasha (Sasha-nator) raced in the Shimano Youth Series as well...taking it to all the boys with a basket on her bike....
Of course, Heidi's own Scott "G" Godsil was on deck with their son, Max-man to cheer 'em on as well. Then we had some more beers, and waited around for Dale (http://www.oskarblues.com/) to finsh the beer can yardbirds, so we could eat, and oooh yeah, I have to drive to the fokin' airport and go home, while these kids get to ride the moto's in the mountains and eat and drink at the pig palace again...I'm so pissed I don't live in Ned.
See Heidi...aren't you glad you raced Single?
