Okay, here it is
2nd overall Short Track
11th overall XC
Short track was Saturday and was cool course. It was like Michigan riding, short punchy climbs, flat section with fats corners, then some downhill. I started 2nd from last as the guy ahead of me would not file in. Sat in on lap 1, then passed like 10 people on lap 2. Everyone goes balls-out on the start, and I can't. My legs opened up, and soon I saw the lead group which was Fort Lewis guys, and 2 CSU guys. Then I crashed on a flat 2-track crossing over. I was laughing at myself for that. I kept chasing as people were popping. It came down to 3 of us. I was sitting 3rd coming near the finish as the 2nd guy crashed while standing up. I brakes and got around him. No way I was going to beat 1st as he was 2nd at track nationals last week.
XC-sat in the car until 20 minutes before the start as it was pouring. Fixed some bike stuff, road up the dirt road maybe a minute, then lined up. I rode lap 1 near the back just having fun. I went a little harder on lap 2 and 3, but I never killed it. Just wanted to stay on 2 wheels and enjoy the trails.
Then it was off to Boulder to pick up some CX bike components so I could build up some bikes. Sweet bikes.
Might stay here this weekend and get some riding in, or head down to the Republic for some CX and STXC. We'll see.

I did come from 2nd to last place. Everyone kills it on lap 1 as I try to hang on. Then I passed like 10 people on lap 2 as they were blown. Then crash. Get up and catch more people. Weave around a crashed guy right before the finish.
