This week has been crazy with the school work. I had an exam last Friday, and rushed to Missouri after that and “forgot” to work on homework all weekend. I got a little behind. I haven’t had much of a chance to ride at all this week, but in some ways I think that’s good for me. Have been riding really hard for the last couple months and was starting to get burned out. So I suppose school came at the right time.
Today I was able to get out to cross practice. The course was set up to mimic the Grafton course, which I plan on racing this weekend. This included a lot of off camber corners and a sand pit. I rode through the sand pit a few times, but man that thing was deep. I ended up just running through it most of the time, to keep the bike nice. I still have some kick though, I was happy to see that. I was able to keep up with the faster guys, but my buddy Isaac was killing it, and I think nobody could hang with him. I didn’t feel so bad when he dropped me. But despite not really riding outside of racing, I’m happy to still have my speed and fitness.
So this weekend is the Grafton Cross race, which should be fun. I haven’t done any of the WCA cross races yet, so it will be nice to not be racing against the crazy fast people. I might have a chance to win even. Then Sunday is the last WORS race of the year, in Sheboygan. I love the heck out of this race, the course is fun, but what makes it special is the competition. Fast people show up, and even people I race with all the time seem to challenge me more. Plus the crowd and the money makes it fun for races and spectators. Should be a good time.
