This weekend was the Sun Prairie Cyclocross race at Sheehan Park. I have to say right off the bat that was an amazing course! It was a little long, but on a fast dry day, it would have been crazy fast and not even close to how hard it was. My Dad came out to Madison that morning and drove me up there. It was really good to see him; he is getting in cyclocross, which is fun to see. He was really getting into the race on Sunday. I don’t know if anyone else’s dad is crazy about football, but when he watches football, he gets really loud. Well, apparently he does the same for cyclocross. He was going insane, not just for me either. He was cheering everyone one. This surprised me, because I know him as a quiet guy.
The race was a lot of fun, I felt pretty good, until the start, my buddy Isaac was there too. He took off like a bat outta hell at the start, strung the field out really long. I was able to make some of the selections, but ended up with a smaller 3-5 man group that was third on course. I felt in control during the race, which usually only happens when I’m in shape, so it was a welcome felling. I ended up making some passes and got myself in a good position with 2 laps to go. I passed a guy at the bell, and was closing in on the next guy on course. As I closed in to make the pass on a run up, my pedals didn’t unclip, and I ate shit. I landed on the top of my head after doing a half front flip. My head started hurting I slipped back, but managed to stay in the top ten my head continued to hurt the rest of the day, but I’m fine now.
I need to do a quick homework rant. I have been getting things done all over the place. But every time I get something done, it seems like there is another crisis. I know, welcome to college, but man, it does get old. Thanksgiving is coming up, so I get a break.
I will try to write again before Thanksgiving, but if I don’t, I want to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving. Eat much turkey, enjoy family and friends, be merry!
