Race reports from Aaron Albright

My first race of the season was the Bike Line XC at Fair Hill MTB race on April 27th.. I did Cat 2 19-29 and got 1st place. I took the lead as soon as we got into the single track and opened a gap over second place by about 2 minutes and maintained that for the rest of the race. It was pretty fun!  Link to results- http://www.midatlantictiming.com/resultsdetail.php?did=391

Saturday at Turkey Hill I finished 2nd in the field sprint in the category 4/5, after riding at the front all day and slightly missing the sprint strategy at the end. I was positioned one place to far front leading into the sprint, and ended up doing the lead- out for Ben Strine who took the win. Sunday I went down to Newark, DE for the Iron Hill Challenge and finished 1st in the Cat. 2 19-29. It was very muddy but a lot of fun! I am upgrading to Cat. 1 for my next mtb race, which will probably be the Greenbrier Challenge near Frederick, MD on May 18.  It is also a USAC XC nationals qualifier.
