This was my 5th Holiday Lake and this one was like none other. My first one five years ago started out raining and then it turned to snow. Slushy mess, but nothing like conditions this year. I like you was ready for this one to be over. With this being the first race of the Beast Series, I guess Holiday Lake is like a right of passage. Sort of like running up a mountain, you have to start at the bottom to get to the top. Funny how the Beast Series ends with Hellgate. Where is the other bottom? Take care of that toe.

And the new course is much improved. I would almost asoon have us keep going clockwise both loops to avoid oncoming traffic, but it's toss up. Good Luck on your 2010 Search for your Inner Beast.
