Ramsey's Revenge

Dear Readers,

I rolled across the finish line and slowly back to my car greeting some of my fellow finishers. It was warm and I was pretty destroyed. The Ramsey's Revenge race and course were awesome, and I had a sense of satisfaction dragging my enormous carcass across the line. Who am I kidding I was proud that I was able to muster enough gumption to finish that last lap. I was in a dark, dark place.

I make it to the car and as I open the rear hatch, I hear my phone ringing. I answer it.

"Hey Monk!?"

"Are you Okay? are you finished ? How did it go? I expected to hear from you sooner" She asks with a bit of worry in voice.

"I'm fine, the race went well. I died on the last lap, and gave up 3-4 spots in the last 3rd of the race, but otherwise it was a good race. It's a process, I'm better than I was a couple weeks ago..."

"Good. I was a little worried, I had expected you to call earlier..." Monkey responds. I can hear relief in her voice that I'm not hurt, and that I'm happy with my ride. I'll admit I was a pretty unbearable human being for a couple of days after the Mother's Day Mauler fiasco.

"did you run longer than you expected?" She follows up.

"About 5 minutes, as I was pretty dead the last lap, but in general everything was cool. They got a late start because some Hooligans decided to un-mark the course this morning and Dusty and crew had to do some emergency course repair. I gotta say they did an amazing job. Everything was outstanding..."

"that sucks someone did that but it's not totally unusual either... Just wanted to make sure you were safe and had fun." She replied.

"I had a blast the course was really fun, I had some good racing, made it over the first climb with the leaders, and through the rock gardens by the hotel it was like a wall of sound as I rode through there it was so loud, it was awesome." I added for good measure, starting to feel a bit more alive...

Lower Rock Garder. Just 15 yard up the trail was a wall of sound.

"Awesome, check your results and I'll meet you at the pool. We can chat more then. Good job babe, love you!" She said wrapping up the call.

"Love you to Monk! Be safe!" I said.

The call disconnected, and I took a swig of water from my bottle.
Yeah, today was a pretty damn good day.

thanks for reading.

best to you.
