What an awesome course. There was hardly anywhere to recover, and no matter what your strength or weakness, the setup had something for ya. I got a pretty good start and spent the whole race rockin it with Guy. He hit the deck coming to the bell lap otherwise we would have had a good drag race to the line I think. The crowd was great, especially my wife, who makes me laugh everytime I go by her.
I was gonna try to take it a little easy this weekend, not worry about where I finished, and just put in a good training effort. I’ve been sick as a dog all week and almost didn’t show. I realized today that I just can’t do that. When they say “go” I wanna race. I want to catch the guys up ahead and make the guys behind me work their asses off to stay with me. It’s like this I guess, I have good days and I have bad days, but I always leave it all out there when I’m done. Maybe it’s cause I love ripping it up on the grass and dirt. I know I don’t always put it all on the line in a road race or a crit. Now I’m just rambling. Bottom line is I dig cross. Great seeing all the Crossniacs today.
