Party time after first race...

Got back to the hotel after the Chester Challenge. Showered up, helped each other dress (not really, totally) and headed out to Burrito Union for a two fisted burrito and a home grown beer. Awesome place to eat and hang out. Staff was friendly, ambiance was perfect...what a great place to take a date...or for two guys who are in Duluth for trail racing, am I right?

After the huge burrito fest we headed over to Fitgers to check out the scene. Not a whole lot going on like we thought for a huge college town, but it was a good spot to relax. Sat and chatted at Redstar and enjoyed another beer and some scenary. After that we were on the verge of heading back and getting some shut-eye for our BIg race the next morning....but before we did we checked out Canal Park to see if there was any buzz down there. Sure enough there was one joint taht was hopping. We went and stood in line and when we got inside we realized it was 80's night and there was a great cover band playing.....HAIRBALL!!! What an awesome show it was, and it went til almost 2 in the morning. Dare I say we stayed until that time as well...what a bunch of morons we are, but it was vacation, so who cared? Not us, we loved every minute of it.



Finally back at the hotel and into bed, ready to rise around 8:30 (race wasn't til 11). Little breakfast in the AM and off to the Duluth Zoo for pre-race meeting and set-up. Can't wait!
