Jay P is off to Nome, AK!
Posted by Fitzy on February 25th, 2008 |
The Alaska Ultrasport / Iditabike Invitational started yesterday and our man Jay P took the first few pedal strokes towards Nome… 1100 miles away! It looks like Jay spent the night after breezing through the first 90 miles. Jay said before he left that he’d race to McGrath (350 miles) and then slow his pace on his way to Nome. It looks like 4 other riders left the 90 mile check point and kept pushing. Jay has always performed better with a good night sleep, so we’ll see if he can close the gap on those guys today. Maybe he changed his mind and decided to keep his body fresh for the extended race that most riders won’t be a part of after McGrath. Here we go folks… time to obssess over race updates. Here are the key links: Race Leader Board, Race Podcast (with updates from Jay all the way to Nome), and catch all the banter on the mtbr.com endurance forum. Keep in mind that this forum may develop new threads as the race goes on so keep poking around if you want more info. GO JAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I sat at my computer feeling cold and tired when I openned Fitzy.com and saw JayP…setting off to F-in Nome…on his bike of course…and I was cold and tired IN MY HOUSE! JayP, you continue to set the bar higher every season. I checked the results..and of course you were in first…like it was expected or something. So, here’s the thing….ride hard, have fun like you always do…but win, lose or quit before you freeze your go-T off….know that the gang in orange thinks you are THE MAN…no matter what happens. But I can’t wait till you hit the afterburners….cuz I can see your there to win…as why else would you have outfitted the Orbea with a white seat?!
