Now that's a cross race
Greetings all from KC. It's crazy being out here to race and we're having a blast so far (despite not crashing until about 1:30 last night due to travel delays and a need to eat). Today's B races were a total mudfest. There were way over 100 people registered for the 30-39 and only like 72 started. Of that there were a few who DNF'd. CCC took the hole shot and I got a pretty good start, hitting the grass in maybe 20th. I bobbled the first couple corners and was feeling things out since I never got to pre-ride. Very very quickly, the race just turned into a slog fest. I just tried to keep it upright in all the corners and ride strong through the mud. I gave it just about all I had and was hurting at the end. Rolled home 41st which is a nice upgrade from my 123rd or whatever it was last year in Providence. Here's a few pics of the muddy carnage:

I wanna see pictures of how white your bike wasn't. Sounds like all sorts of fun though, which is weird because Kansas and fun usually are far from synonymous.
I got in line for the bike wash immediately after the race... the lines were long to say the least. At one point during the race I looked down and I basically couldn't see my brake calipers and the front tire had basically carved a channel through the clump of crap clogged in the fork. It was frickin awesome! :)
Tim says... Keep getting muddy!!!
Sam says... Good luck in your next race!!
Max... Love you, bye bye!
Mommy says... "When do you get home???"
