Unicorns CAN fly!

So I had to wait until I got this picture to write about the Unicorn. The race was pretty awesome, the course was so good and fun. I always say I don’t like racing in general, but to me when there is a unicorn attached to your bike, it’s not a race, it’s a journey....into a magical universe!(lalalalala...) My journey down the race course was going so well, my Unicorn was on FIRE....I mean FLYING, until I hit the new section that was created just this year. I’d only been down the new section once for the pre-run, and even then I wasn’t really paying attention because my Unicorn’s head kept falling down. Well, I ended up coming around a corner and somehow managed to go UNDER the tape (how? I don’t know) and onto another trail. “Ahh shit....this isn’t the race course!” So I had to run back up the trail back to the course, get back on the horse and just giv’er! I must’ve been going a good pace, since I still won, but I really think I could’ve been under 6 minutes had I not taken the wrong turn. That’ll be my goal for next year.
