Great video Josh. Are you riding your singlespeed? Can't imagine that one gear could be competitive.
I get passed all the time by girls, or the more politically correct term, women. It's funny that my wife can tell everyone that she plays tennis with the "girls", while I get damn near crucified, by some, for using the same word. My definition of "cougar" is a woman on a tri-bike!
And nothing does more for my ego that being passed by a teenage young woman on a mountain bike with me on my roadbike. 
yeah SS because its all I have right now. I have had a couple couple top 10s overall in the open classes in vermont and pa and top 3 and wins in Single Speed specific class. just not on this day. I was 16th outta of 40 on this day an off day for sure because I rode to much the week prior. I tend to do better on courses with more singletrack simply because I can ride it faster than most, and I dont get so spun out on my SS. this course was borderline cyclocross racing.
I have an Giant Anthem X 2 29er on order and should get one once they get restocked. Still going to use the SS for some races especially when there is a SS class. At least for races with no SS option I'll have a competitive geared suspended bike to hopefully compete.

next big race is the 12 hours of Millstone, I am running it solo in the Single Speed Catergory. I ll keep doing the wednesday night world's as they are great interval training.
