2 CycloCross race's in the book

Well training has been mainly on the Cross bike and Mountain Bike i have been really busy with work,training and the family. I had my first Cross race weekend of the year and it wasn't to bad i can brush up on Lot's of things but but overall i feel great about my riding. The first day i placed 33rd i know it does not sound good but out of 86 of the top riders in the Midwest and a back row call up. I tried to bust up front but its hard trying to get to the front with 80+ riders all over the place so i did what i could and went from 81st to 33rd at the end of race #1. Sunday was lots better still back row call up but finished 20th out of 91 riders now that's better so 2 races in and getting stronger just have to work on the skill, and try to be more aggressive that might move me up. Back to Mountain bike racing this Sunday WORS race # 11 Bear Paw new race different pace would like to have a top 20 overall finish than final race # 12 sheboygan would love to win it or at least top 5 overall finish. Where there Will there's a way I'm going to put my all into it i have been tearing my legs off trying to win a race hopefully soon.

Race # 10 WORS

It was a great day for racing not to hot and not to cold. Jumped off the start in 5th place felt good and than a group of guys took off like a bat out of hell, Up the hills and into the single track we all went. I felt like crap my first lap than it all came to me started to pick off racers left and right moving up fast but a little to fast, Took a spill in the rock garden and let me tell you it hurt took me out of focus a little bit but jumped back on the bike and tried to finish strong. Picked off a few more racers and ended up 7th place and 30th over all not bad for a old man it was a rough course lots of single track. I am now sitting 3rd in my age and 30th over all in the series i really wanted to crack the top 20 overall but i don't think that is going to work out. Cross seasion is right around the corner and so is the sheboygan race, The race i have been focused on all summer long. Congratulation's to Brian matter on winning the big race in cable Wi.

Train-Train its lots of PAIN.

Pounded out miles and miles over the weekend nothing new just trying to get faster and faster. As a wise racer and trainer told me it takes time and lots of heart. I have the heart but i feel like I'm running out of time I'm not getting younger.32 years old how much can my body take? Its been a long and hard summer of training ya i got faster and stronger but i can feel the hurt. Cyclo-Cross is right around the corner and I'm pumped up, with my new xo1 trek i am ready to race hard and fast. But first i have to finish off the WORS series and my main focus is the sheboygan race it would be a dream come true to become 1st over all in the comp class all i can do is try my hardest, and let me tell you what i have trained my but off all summer long for this.
