SO ! My beloved lill woman took it upon herself to mock me elsewhere in another forum we both belong to... ( "Mock My Man" posted by Somnovi) for falling in front of a bunch of fellow instructors during an invitational race.....
Today March 12th 2006 I raced in the MOUNTAIN DEW VERTICAL CHALLENGE Gate race (Giant Slallom style) at Jiminypeak.
I'm too damn sexxyyyyy on that board today!
I'm going to the Finals ! OHHH BABY ! LOON MOUNTAIN VERTICAL FINALS !
I raced in place 182 out of 449 people on the GREEN COURSE (Right side) of the 360 run on Jiminypeak down to where it meets up with the 180 trail.
In my catagory I raced in the age bracket of 25-35 , and I took SILVER MEDAL with a time of 33.049 seconds. The man who actualy won the gold also turned in the single fastest time of the day on a board (a blistering 20.09 seconds) In which he was lucky to be the fourth person to run down the course and he was seriously a good gate running boarder, so I have my work cut out for me April 1, 2006 in New Hampshire ! He took home a seriously nice paperweight(trophy)that looked like a sculpture of a mountian with a snowboarder carving it up on it.
Pics to be posted soon, and the results should be up on
www.snocountry.com or hopefully the Mountaindewchallenge site this week.
Ha-rah ! Feels good to be a winner and not a weiner for once.
* On a sad note, one of our instructors was free-riding after the race, and he apparently somehow got disoriented in some heavy fog/ Mist from warm weather and cool snow, and slammed into atree really REALLY hard. They took him to Berkshire Medical. What is weird is My Girlfriend and I had seen and talked to him like not even 12 minutes before he got into said accident.
Prayers for Alex B.
