I had the best time this weekend! Ron and I (and kids) went with some friends of ours to a Cyclecross event in Wastonville this weekend and had such a great time.
I first attended a Cyclecross clinic on Saturday morning with a great instructor named Carmen. Carmen was so great, she made it look so easy and she worked with us for several hours. I only planned on doing the clinic because I thought it would be fun to try, I have never raced before and I have only gone Mt. Biking once. Carmen thought the race would be great practice for me so I told her I would think about it.
Sunday morning I woke up thinking that it would be crazy for me to try this race with so little experience, but I thought, What The Hell......I will do it! Oh My GOD, it was the hardest thing I have ever done. I wanted to die after my first lap, but all my friends and my honey kept cheering me on, so I kept going. The other racers were so nice to me, every time they lapped me they told me how great I was doing. By my third lap, with Ron following me on his bike cheering me on I finished the race dirty, tired, and tears running down my cheeks.
I am going back in two weeks to give it another go. All I need now is a new Pink cyclecross bike!
