The Shep Report
There's one cliche that seems to make it into every racer's life at least once. And that is, "the one that got away"! Instead of hanging in Canmore all week I went back to the 'Loops' for a little R and R as well as some much needed road training to get leg speed for what was supposed to be my great day!
The course in Canmore was a true test of every mountainbiker's skills (except for running thanks God)! Rough single track both fast and slow, climbing and descending and accouple of nice floater jumps for some to wow the crowd. The start loop was as hard as ever, although I some how managed to stay upright leaning on people as we funnelled around a bridge seven abreast. Up the climb shot the leaders which included Mig (Miguel Martinez), Dutch master-bas (Bas vanDooren), Cadel (Evans), Duphoey (Christophe Dupuoey) and our own Roland Green! Rollie worked hard all day chasing with help from teammate Roll Paulison (Roel Paulissen).....on went their battle leaving Rolli in 3rd by the end! Back in the smoking section I clung on with dear life hoping to get my last olympic qualifier.....sat in 25th after 40 minutes. My group gradually picked the pace up at the exact time my side decided to cramp! That threw me back to 31st and in dire straits until Dre (Andreas Hestler)saved me and coaxed me to sit on his wheel and recover! What a guy (owe you big pastry and coffee in whistler this weekend)! Came out relaxed and drove it hard with a slovenian guy for a lap then solo until I made contact with a group of seven. As I hit the group we started our last lap....through the feed zone I attacked breaking the group in half making (Jose Antonio) Hermida, (Travis) Brown, Jullien (Julien Absalon), and (Dominique) Arnould chase.....I thought for sure I was in there for the spot as I bore down on 17th place Tinker (Juarez)(whom I passed). It was not to be though! Spectators reported seeing a large mushroom cloud followed by a sonic boom and a burnt Haro jersey at the 1km remaining mark! Nearly cried as olympic hopes and dreams were crushed as the four chaser passed and spat me out with the finish line almost in site!
