Can't wait to get back out there sometime in the next couple years...I think they'll always be some good MN representation out there.<br /><br />And Steve, yeah you definitely have to go back to Wall Drug. Try their ice cream...and the jackelope's in the back!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525020658814526405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092293164636129978.post-68347345175462016122011-07-01T10:34:17.566-05:002011-07-01T10:34:17.566-05:00The one thing you forgot to mention in your otherw...The one thing you forgot to mention in your otherwise great write-up was that you finished 2nd overall. Not too shabby on a tough course when you're having a rough day!<br /><br />Thanks for coming out to the BH100 and congrats on your finish! We hope to see you (and the rest of the Minnesota crew) back sometime!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00199683291737559562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092293164636129978.post-2152364540032133052011-07-01T10:14:44.417-05:002011-07-01T10:14:44.417-05:00The two hour slowdown on the second half sounds li...The two hour slowdown on the second half sounds like one of my races - if you learn from it, you're WAY ahead of me, as I keep doing that. But what really gets me is: somehow I went to Wall Drug and totally missed the giant jackelope! Does that mean I have to go back?!SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092293164636129978.post-82739177126933216772011-06-30T20:06:36.313-05:002011-06-30T20:06:36.313-05:00Hey thanks Chris.

I did have fun out there in Sturgis...was great hanging out with everyone!<br /><br />You're right man...this sport is way more mental than I think I or most people give it credit. Once the training's in place, it's all about getting the head in the right spot.<br /><br />See you at Afton buddy...good luck. Hope you're at least somewhat recovered.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525020658814526405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1092293164636129978.post-83177022626153475462011-06-30T19:42:14.134-05:002011-06-30T19:42:14.134-05:00Brian,
Glad you had a great trip to Black Hills. ...Brian,<br />Glad you had a great trip to Black Hills. The races give us a chance to soak up the surroundings, enjoy the company and have some fun. It was good to see you, and you were enjoying yourself! <br /><br />Imagine for a second if you weren't as hard working and as fast as you are (and damn you are hard working and fast!!) - then you might think your problem might not be the altitude, rather your results. Build on your positives and your attributes. Don't let your mind spend more time on the (perceived) shortcomings than your strong qualities or it will drive you crazy and eventually wear/slow you down. You will be fine at Cascade - believe it!<br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
