cx states at Xilinx

didn't go well at all. I can only race without training for so long, and that prob ended a week ago. My lack of fitness was obvious yesterday. Good start, even without clipping in right away, was in top 5 after 1st lap, and then a flurry of attacks from Paul and Ward saw me losing ground quickly. My lack of fitness saw me struggling through flat muddy sections like a mosquito in a hurricane. The slickness was fun going downhill, but the slower boggy sections that favored a power rider saw me losing multiple spots. Once Georgia passed me on the last lap,, I knew I got girled, and then a few more guys passed me. I considered quitting, but before I knew it the race was over. Thank goodness. A great overall cross season, highlighted by my podium at USGP Xilinx and win at Red Rocks cross on S. Table Mountain. Second place in BCR isn't bad either, and Ward has consistently been the strongest rider all season. Too bad we couldn't have raced with Jared together all year. I think that would have been fun.
