Funny!!!!

So a friend of mine saw this on a Bumper Sticker-

If I ride a Fixie and NO One see's me. Is it still COOL.

Cross Vegas

It was a warm 83degrees. Course was the same as last year. Lots of long grass. Two big run ups. Did I mention HOT. We had 120 people in our group. I started in the 62. They put us at the start line according to our number. It was a total mess in the beginning. 3 crashes right away. I moved my way up and finished 3rd in the Retail Division and 18th Overall out of 120 people. I was really happy with my race. My mouth was so dry after that race. This guy gave me a cough drop the get the Saliva flowing. It worked really well. Vegas was fun. But really exhausting.

Cross #2

It was at Cartee Park. I had a crappy start. I got cut off and tripped between barriers. I got up and finished 4th. Amber won her race. Even after a 1:30 Swim at APU.

Wet and Muddy (Cross #1)

There's no racing like Cross. Cold and Mud. That's what its all about. We had the first Cross of the season on Saturday. I had a solid race. Had a Really bad start. Couldn't get in my pedals and then got stuck way back on the first hill single track. But caught back up by lap 2. Will Ross broke loose and got a gap of about 40 seconds. Adam, John, and, myself rode together the whole race. We hit it hard. We attacked each other the whole time. Will won, Adam was 2nd, and I finished 3rd. Kaladi-Subway, Chain Reaction Sweep. That was the first cross race I think I've done like that. It was Fun. The longer we raced the worse the course got.

Amber had a good race. She went for a swim in the morning at APU swim group for a 1:30 then went to breakfast with her Tri Pals. She then did the Cross Race and Won the Women's Race.

After Race!

Back to Back! Ouch

Last week we had a busy week. Saturday I did Powerline Pass Race Up and Over. Thats was tough 4000ft climbing then descend down the rocky back side. I felt great on the way up. But started suffering towards the top. I finished 4th.

Sunday we did Anchorage to Seward Relay (112miles). We took the kids on an road trip and it was fun. We whier 4th Overall, Won our Division in 4:49. Sub 5hrs is fast. Daniel Folmar won the Solo Race and broke the record (4:41), well destroyed it. We had great weather, sunny and No wind. We stayed the night at the Edgewater and took the Kids to the Sealife Center in Seward. Our friend Tim works there and got us Backstage passes. It was pretty Cool to get close to the animals.

Tomorrow is the first Cross Race of the season. I'm super Excited. Hope it goes well.
