I entered the men's "advanced" division, which is roughly equivalent to expert in mountain bike racing (ie, the highest non-pro category) and Sarah did the women's intermediate (think sport). We were both pretty worried that we'd get shellacked, but that turned out not entirely to be the case.
I was *unbelieveably* nervous, despite the lack of any stakes (even if I'd won, I wouldn't have won any prizes) and despite the fact that I always claim not to take climbing seriously. So I didn't bother to eat lunch (which would cause some problems later when I started drinking the free beer - but I won't go into that) and was sweating like crazy before the competition actually started.
Sorry about the picture quality. The air was so thick with chalk dust that it was actually causing problems with the camera!

you should do that with a 29er strapped to your back--you would have won that division.
