Once again I find myself wishing I had blogged more often than I actually have recently.? It has been my intention to write up every cross race as it happens and yet I have failed in that endeavor.? In an attempt to rectify it I will try to at least cover this last weekend – …
Nervous chatter. ?Sugar and caffeine fueled questions. Gear discussions. ?”What pressure should I run?” ?”Where are we going?” WHIRRRRRRWHIRRRRRRWHIRRRRRWHIRRRRWHIRRR “LEFT” – “BRANCH!” “OK. ?We’ll start here. ?Take this section like this. ?Hop off here. ?Barriers there. ?We’ll start with 2 warmup laps then we’ll go race pace for 40 minutes. ?Questions?
