This was the second TMBRA Marathon mountain bike race of the 2020 season. The weather was great once again in the mid 60's and no gusting wind. I tried keeping a good pace and not chasing every rider that passed me. I wanted to make sure that I had enough energy for the third lap. I had a blast racing against a good friend of mine. We both started racing about the same almost three years ago and we have made some good improvements and hopefully a lot more to come. This is the first of two videos. The second video will contain the 2nd and 3rd lap for anyone who is interested in seeing the rest of the race. The original video was too long so I had to split the video. BTW if you like the video please give it a thumbs up and also please subscribe to my channel if you would to like see more race videos like this. Enjoy!
