9-mile Conditions
Very dry and fast today with the hope that the area gets some rain before 24-9. The new singletrack is still coming into its own while being vey similar to the Flower Trail when it was first built. The Team Sports crew could make the course more technical or more laid back and flowing for the masses depending on what they are thinking with the National Championship designation stamped on the event. I'm also curious to see if they organize the solo pit areas better or assign spots to the racers. Last year was frustrating with only a few spots being available along the course with the koas that came from cars and tents scattered about inside the small area for solo competitors. We'll find out in three weeks if things will be different.
