Well, this weekend was the second race in the Boulder series, and the first one with my new VeloNews kit. It was as good of a day as any to jump in with the big boys in the elite race. With about six hours a week of training it probably wasn't the smartest idea. Go hard or go home, right? It wasn't exactly a breakthrough race, but I didn't come in last!
The course was one of the best I've ever ridden. There was an awesome mix of pavement, mucky grass, creek-crossing run ups, dry run ups, sand... you name it, they had it. The best part was that I had my own personal cheerleader running around the course shouting things like: "You're the hottest thing on two wheels!" Can't ask for much more than that.
My days of being a bike racer may be over, but it's still fun to get out there and suffer. The Boulder race scene is a perfect place to enjoy the sport. There were over 500 racers out there taking a beating and getting dirty on a Saturday. There were lots of cowbells and heckling fans cheering me around the last lap. I coasted across the line into the arms of my number one fan and just smiled. It was a good day.
