Ironically, I was chosen as a random drug control but this time was promptly chased down by the USADA escort and taken in to the bowels of the Deer Valley Lodge for testing.

Although NORBA national mountain bike racing is not what it used to be, it is the only game in town for testing yourself against the nation's best, I was felt plenty tested and once again found I have more work to do.
