Well, it was a quick morning (except for the 4 hours of driving ;-) but very successful.
The race was at Manzanita Park, Prunedale – about 2 hours South of Mill Valley (or 1:40 if I drive).
We had a partial turnout of the team members, but good success overall. Today because of the specific classes for this race, Spence and Skyler raced in “13 and under” and Bob and Isaiah raced in “18 and under” – so they were up against some BIG “kids” this time…
The course started and finished on an uphill paved road, which made the run to the first corner exciting at the start, and the uphill sprint at the end equally exciting.
Great riding by everyone, with (now usual?) stellar results:
13 and Under:
First Place – Spence Peterson (First in State)
Second Place – Skyler Taylor (Second in State)
18 and Under:
First Place – Isaiah Rapko (First in State)
Second Place – Bob Siegel (by about 6 inches on an incredible sprint finish) (Second in State)
The schwag included lots of strawberries again, along with “State Championship” medals for the top 3 finishers.

This was an exciting race in watching how all of the boys outraced both the C Men and the bigger teenagers. Really impressive and their form really shows watching how they pace themselves and pass others throughout the race.
The weather was perfect – about 65 degrees and sunny, and the course had a lot more vertical than many recent races, plus a good runup.
