Yesterday me and Tommy went to Trussville. I had halfway thought of trying to race in the Dead Dog race next weekend and wanted to at least try to ride the trail before racing. We spent a while trying to find the trail and eventually ran into Frank (I think that was his name). He graciously showed us what he thought was the race course. After finishing the first correct lap I decided to ride a couple more to see if I could find a decent line. For some reason I was struggling much more than usual. I think it was because I tried to eat a few power bars I got at the gas station on the way since I skipped breakfast and we started riding about lunch. Anyway I couldn't seem to pace myself correctly and was just riding sloppy. My first lap was about 26 minutes and my second was about 25. I was once again struggling with a lot of back pain and I will get to the solution to that shortly. I am pretty sure I am going to puss out of this race as it is a pretty tight course with very few places to pass. I think I would be a bigger hinderance to the other riders than anything.
