The Cohutta 100 went off today, starting at the Ocoee Whitewater Center. Duey and I drove down and ran into several friends along the trail.
Dewey's decision not to race, opened the day up for a fun ride around the race. Although throwing in the towel on the 100 had been done weeks ago, giving up the $140 entry fee had to hurt. Lesson learned: discretionary valor and having a blast on the trails with your friends is "priceless."
I had decided several weeks ago not to race the 100 and didn't want to pay to race the 35, so the beautiful Saturday at the Ocoee was a great way to get a long ride in and enjoy the race scene.
Chris Etough took first in 6:45 and Tinker Juarez was second, about 15 minutes behind.
The last time I made it down to the Ocoee was in the snow.

Hey Thomas, Thanks for the post on my site...this actually has been alot of fun to put together. After yesterday my confidence is up for PMBAR but its still going to be a long day. When are you going down to pisagh, friday or saturday AM?
I'm going down Friday, probably get a hotel, I was thinking about camping Saturday night. It would be nice to build a fire and drink a few beers after the race.
