Day #3 - Race Sabotage

Today was the best day of riding that we've had here yet in the sunny hills of Kamloops. While the race was supposed to begin at 8am, we didn't roll out on the neutral start until 10:40am, after the Race Director spent the morning dealing with some idiot named "Jeff" who was out to sabotage the race (what kind of mountain biking spirit is that???).
Long story short, the route got changed, from 80km to 50km (but was actually 65+km in the end) and as Brandyn and I rode AWESOME today, we learned with about 20km to the finish line that today's stage would not count. In other words, the slate stays as it was and we don't gain or loose a position. I guess some course markings still weren't perfect and it caused some issues. So.....with that, we rode at a cruisy pace back to TRU and finished. We are both pretty disappointed. Today's riding was really good. The weather was much cooler and we had an awesome descent in some nice twisty single track in the shade. It was a good time.

So what do we do from here? Well, meeting tonight at 7pm, so we will all get the course up- dates. Brandyn and I will go out tomorrow and put another good effort in and will keep having fun together on the course. We will pray for rain. I will keep taking my nuun tablets, applying thick layers of KINeSYS sunscreen and wearing my Ryders sunglasses - my 3 keys to success in this blistering heat and sunshine!

On another note...my sister's wedding is this coming weekend and I am really stoked for it!!! However, I have a horrendous farmer's tan going on and my feet are, well..in true Jen style...DESTROYED!!!!
