Yikes it's time for Cyclecross!

I suck less at it this year, and I am having a lot of fun. Today was my second race and this time I didn't fall or come in last....yea me! My lovely husband cheered me on as I hyperventilated around the course several times. I like the course at Roberson Park except for those dam stairs (I Hate the Stairs, I Hate the Stairs) and the sand sort of sucks too, but at least I didn't fall in it this time.

I could hear Ron giving me pointers from across the field when I hit the sand pit, "Carry your bike, carry your bike" he yelled. "You carry my friggen bike" I said to myself as I huffed through the sand, and I guess I said it loud enough for people to hear because the guy next to me laughed. I could hardly get my feet to work in that stupid sand pit and I wasn't about to try to carry my bike through it!

The good news is that last week I placed 8th and was the last to come over the line, but today I placed 5th and I wasn't the last to finish. So today was a good day for me. I am also very thankful to have had my family and friends there to cheer me on, it gave me that little extra something to keep me going.

Thanks For Cheering for Me Guys!

A special thanks to my best mate and lovely husband for all the support....for making my bike lighter, and better to handle. For cheering me on even when I suck, and for helping me to be the best that I can be on my bike and in my life.

THANKS BABE...I LOVE YOU!

Yeah...I'm glad you're racing. Great job!! The best thing when you race is to have some fun.

I can't wait to start riding my cross bike. Joe has to build it, then I'll be ready for some training.
