well, i will say that with the biggest field yet this year, and a lot of fast crossers from all over the midwest. i rode my finest cross race of the year, or since this is my first year, my finest cross race ever! the pace at the start was mind blowing, i guess when your an iceman champ thats just how hard you go, but i will say that brian matter made the lead group seperation fast. i wasn't quite willing to die so i was relegated to the first chase group. we really didn't give much up to the leaders until we decided we weren't getting caught from behind and none of wanted to blow and fall out of our position to pick up the last money spot. the course at angel park was electric! the fans made the fantastic course even better, every lap on the run up you just kept going as fast as you could, the fans were too loud to even think about pain. not even to mention the endless cowbells, money hand-ups, and a gdvc cheering section, complete with family i had it all. all in all i finished 10th. i was happy with the result, and the effort that it had taken only one day after a 4 hour ride in the rain. next week is state, i will once again try to improve, and see what happens. considering that my cross season is all for fun, every race and improvement feels that much better.
now a moment of silence for jasons car window, and his beloved radar detector. it will be missed by all who ride to races late with you...
p.s. if seth would have raced today i would have beaten him. bad.
