Greenbrier

Greenbrier was a very hilly course and really took a lot out of you.  I went down Saturday after doing the Car Kong short track race.  We pre-rode the course when we got down there and i realized it would be a super tough race.  The race started and I had a pretty good position going into the first hill.  There was a super fast kid in my class that just pulled away right in the beginning , never to be seen again.  I was on the wheel of second place up the first two hills and down the long descent into the final climb.  During the last climb Madison pulled away from me, and i just couldn't hang with him.  I came through the first lap about 1 minute and 30 seconds behind and was just starting to feel good.  I flew up the first climb and on the way down the first hill i fell really hard.  I snapped my bar end of my ergons and I guess i flated, because 100 feet up the road i went flat.  So, practically the entire field passed me as i was changing it in the mud.  I ran out of Co2, couldn't get the tire off, then finally i almost gave up.  Some guy stopped and helped me get going again and I was flying with furry.  I ended up passing everyone except one who passed me and i got fourth.  So, i guess i would have got third with out a flat but stuff happens.
