Sucker Brook Cyclo-Cross September 20, 2009 Auburn, NH
What a great day for a race! Temperatures were in the low 60's for a 10:00 am start time. Not a cloud in the sky with brilliant sun. This is a great venue and it's obvious that it is catching on by the number of racers. The course was pretty much the same from past years. Who doesn't like a good sand trap to show ones strength or lack of. This was my first major cross race in a year. It felt good to get back in race mode (to bad I wasn't in race shape!). The 10:00 am race consisted of CAT 3/4 masters 35+. I saw myself as pack fill. My objective is mostly to see where I am mentally and physically for this race season. I finished the race with a good and not so good note. Didn't come in as high in the ranking as I would have liked but I did finish 4 spots higher then last year. I rode the sand trap every time...a first for me on this course. Was it the Salsa or the Fangos... or a combination of both? Looking forward to slowly inching my way up the standings.
Out of the mouths of babes comes words of wisdom..."Papa, if you want to win, you have to pedal faster!"
