Reed led them all into woods, which featured every type of terrain imaginable: hills, downhills, deep sand, tight single-track, and roots. Cliff Ousley made his way past Comeaux and battled with Reed. After lap one, Reed had the fastest lap time for the day: 22 minutes and 46 seconds on the 9.7-mile course.

Myatt made his move and took the lead position just in time. "It [his start] calmed me down a lot," Myatt said later. "It put my head on straight. I got around Cliff on the third lap. Then Stephen had a pretty good crash; his back end came up and over the front, right in front of me." Myatt noted that his bike was in top condition thanks to Hattiesburg Cycles' Paul Cox and Mike Sanders, and he also thanked his orthopedic surgeon. Buddy Savoie, and his physical therapist, Laine Nurrette. "They did wonders for me," Myatt said. "Without them, I wouldn't have been back to riding."
