DV W

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. left the house in a hurry this morning when I got a text from Alex and a call from my Mom that it was snowing in Park City. Figured it would make for some good pictures and a fun race to watch. right on both counts, it was a sweet morning. awesome to watch alex get the win after a couple frustrating 2nd places, and fun to be around the race in general. I'm stoked to try and make it for the rescheduled Solitude race on the 5th. here are a few pics, more to come....
nice work dude.

40s



Since I am moving out this week we drank some big beers at the house last night- yum! Its a good thing you can't get those in Utah. Played on the slackline too- funny, there seems to be a correlation between balance and beer consumption...



Speaking of moving I was planning to get going on some stuff today and haven't done a thing! That will be a project for this week I guess.

I was pretty disappointed with how I felt at the Sundance ICUP yesterday but got over it quickly. I love that course and was hoping for a good race but just didn't have the ups. Rode a decent race but just didn't have a ton of energy and couldn't climb. I was still tired from chasing hard wed. and my legs and back were like "hey dude- give us a break." I hadn't had much of a chance to recover with work and just stuff to do. For some reason I grabbed the lead into the singletrack though but was soon thinking what am I doing here. I tried back off and save some for the end and did start to come around at the start of the last 1/2 lap. I gunned it and think I was making up some time on Mitchell but ran out of real estate. Oh well- felt great wed. so hopefully with a little rest I'll come around... moving is good recovery right?

Ty is off to Sun Valley for his first big round of Patagonia showings- good luck dude!
