Cause by the third lap the 2 wheel slides weren't freaking me out and I'll take that into my next race.
Cause it was a great workout.
Cause I actually had a chance to enjoy the view of the mountains.

Cause Burlington is one of the best little cities anywhere.
Cause I'd do it again in a heartbeat (and plan to next year)..it's on!
