Flat Land CX State Championships

Trixie, Code Man, Aris, Theo and the Buckwheat and I got up late to head down to ChiTown for their CX State Championships. Our Hopes? Huck it out in the snow. Aris was to steel the state junior title from IL, and Theo was to podium. Me, not to puke. Code, to puke. Trixie n Buckwheat, stay warm.

Well. The only one to complete their goal was of course, yours truly. I wanted to(puke) on the first run-up, but I new better. I did however have a small problem with clipping into my pedals on occasion(who didn't). All the snow within the yellow tape was perfect packing snow and every so often I would spend a pedal stroke trying to squeeze the cleat into the pedal. I'm not crying though. It was a great workout.

Aris entered the bell lap about 50yards back from first place. Aris crossed the finish line one bike length back. The effort alone made the entire trip worth. Turns out, there are two kids better than Aris at CX. One in IL and one in WI.


Warm.


Theo finished with a top5. The XXX is a male, I kid you not.


Code man crossed the finish line just two bike lengths ahead of me. I wanted to catch him pretty bad. Turns out he didn't want to get caught even more.


hahaha, serioulsy. 5minutes before the junior's start Aris had to take a poo. No TP meant the Craft catalog got dirty. No big deal, he did take second.
