I think it is great that there was such a nice showing for the women. I was there on Sunday (mainly for the women's race and to cheer E2theD on. Lorri, I hope to introduce myself when I see you next!)) and I was so impressed. These women are strong, determined and a real inspiration to me. There is something really lovely about cross racing. It is dirty and grueling, but elegant and graceful at the same time.

I have a question about water. It was fairly warm out there on Sunday. Do you go the full time without any water? Is it something you train for and get used to?
