Downeast Cyclocross #1 and #2

Congratulations! Sounds like a great weekend of racing, shefly! I sure wish we had mud here in CA. We actually had a couple places on the course yesterday that were "muddy" but not really. My guess is the lawn sprinklers just kept them a little wet.

Sounds like great racing and a great course! Wish I could've been there.


I probably would have been right along side with the asthma - mine gets worse in cold weather and can make my race day miserable sometimes!

Oh well, those are the breaks

That sounds so amazing! It sounds like a really challenging course- Congratulations!

Add me to the asthma list...... But kudos to you for getting through it. I probably would have just laid down on the other side of the log and waited for someone to get me......

Thanks for the kind messages! I had actually forgotten that my exercise-induced asthma (great for a racer - NOT!) kicks up when the temps are colder, and it was definitely cold on Saturday! No problem with it on Sunday though, thank goodness!

I think part of the mud on this course was due to the hard frost that we got on Friday night... Made everything pretty slick. That's racing in New England, though - last week in Gloucester, the trails were so dry I was dusty just from spectating! DH is terribly excited about the prospect of racing in the snow .
