Super Secret Blogging Longboard Race Series

Last night was the first of our super secret blogging longboard race series. The photo above pretty much somes it up minus all the pads, full face helmet, custom race board, the fact that we operate in the shadows of the night and the serious look but otherwise you get it the picture.
The race was super fun and as promised a real leg burner. The Gauntlet was definitely laid down by Ben. We are thinking about going back and testing urine or blood or what ever lets us sleep at night after the beating we took from Ben the only Member of the exclusive 8 minute club.
Some where into the first lap after I started to get muscle spasms in my legs I realized there was no way I could keep this pace for another lap, if I wanted to walk the next day. During the Cruiser Classic in Minneapolis a few years ago my leg gave out trying to catch the leader on a small dip in the trail and I rolled off my board, had to get up quick as the guy in third past me and got third. After that race I had a limp for days.

Thanks to Andrea for the very professional start and slightly unbiased time keeping and to Isobel for keeping us safe on the turns.
