SEER - Cliffhanger 2022 - Bronze +35

102° Temp on Thursday meant I was NOT feeling the greatest going into this. Then I had all sorts of dumb issues at the start! Great off the line, then i realize I don't have the bike fully warmed up and I'm stalling it a bunch in the rocks. Then I get going and get up to ~5th again and misread an arrow and think the guy ahead of me missed the corner! Instead I go back and repeat the first part of the trail and get behind most of the bronze riders.
Made for a Very long first lap and a extra effort, but with 4hrs to ride I was able to get up to 4th in the +35 bronze class.
First time riding a SEER event and had a great time!
