Preliminary results: (official to follow)
Primal Smith 2008
Heat plus Hills: 1
Racers: 0

The heat, the hills, the crashes, the needles, more heat, more hills, and a few more crashes did the participants in at the inaugural Primal Smith. Temps reached into the high 90s and the sun baked racers as they road to the remote TA, only to start the trek with a 800 foot climb up the power line with no shade. The hill of Sorrows lived up to its name sake as teams attacked it slightly after the hottest time of the day. An Urban O event over the heat emitting pavement followed as the sun continued it slow trek across the cloudless sky. The prospect of several more large climbs on both foot and bike was enough for the racers to call it a day and hang out in Rico’s backyard instead. For some it was a true Wicked wake up call, while for others it was statement that yes, summer is officially here.

The Evil Race director's deal with Mother Nature appears to have paid off.

Photos will be posted on Monday.
