First MTB race

I did my first MT bike race today. The plan was for me to lead out Nick to the trail and get him a big enough lead to be first on the trail and then he could destroy the field. It worked and he had a good lead and then his chain broke, twice! Nick ended up finishing 12th. As for me, I'm a terrible Mt biker but I finished and hope to improve, I know I can't get any worse.
