Last weekend was a busy one. I started by driving 4.5 hours after work Friday to get to Steve's In-law's house so I could use that as a staging point for the weekend's racing.
Saturday was the first CX race of the year. It was super hot(95 degrees and sunny). I ended up finishing 8th and Steve finished 7th. Hanna finished 6th in the women's race. Kirk was in the Super Master's race and finished in 15th place. It was a good time and I felt good on most of the course. It was really tough through the single track section and the sand pit. Steve did really well in those sections. I was disappointed by how much I faded in the second half of the race. I guess I gotta start training again.

| how I felt after each day of racing |
Sunday was the Tour De Latonka and it was, once again, killer. I felt really good for the first 5/6th of the race and was leading going into the final two mountain stages. Then I bonked and would have crumbled and given up the lead but Skip waited for me and let me keep yellow. It was a great time and I can't wait to do it again. It seems like a really good way to kick start a cyclocross training program. Hopefully I'll be stronger headed forward from here on out.

Good job Brownie. how did the Focus perform?
Hopkinator it was great that your schedule freed up so you could be there. A couple of those TTTs were a blast. I especially liked the last one - a couple turns, power up, hammer down, in the rain. With you, Skip and HD. We were flying. Made me remember why I like riding.
