"Keep plugging along. The finish line is getting closer with every step. When you see it, you won't remember that you are hurting, that anything has gone wrong, or just how slow or fast you are.
You will just know that you are going to finish and that was what you set out to do."
-- Michael Pate, "When Big Boys Tri"
Now you have NO EXCUSE not to join me at some races next year!! Woohoo.
Oh, and I agree - this thread is worthless without pics.

p.s.
How is DH's knee? We're headed up to Bethel for the holiday to do some skiing, but don't tell him... And if he asks, we had a REALLY BAD time at Nationals.
Ok, ok, pics on the way....
Hubby just called me from the ortho and good news! Dr. thinks that he just over-did itUh, no, really? You think? You think that getting into Cyclocross and racing when you haven't trained, then going out to Utah with your testosterone laden friends, when you have only skied one day prior to that, might have caused some "issue"? Really??? But he is scheduled for therapy - the physical kind- and we leave for skiing in Utah on Sat, meeting up with my family, who still lives in Wyoming.
His brother has already called about nationals to 'rub it in' --- best course ever, great conditions....yada yada....And I offered to show him your pics! Ok, so that might have been mean, but I wanted to make sure that he still has the bug for next year!!
The best rides are the ones where you bite off much more than you can chew--and live through it.
You are mean. Glad to hear that his knee will recuperate - he has until next Sept before 'cross season starts!

Hope you had a GREAT time skiing in Utah - we still have NO SNOWhere, but did ski two days on man made over the holiday...
SAWEET looking 'cross bike (getting this thread back on track)! As Velogirl said - you won't see many folks with disc brakes on their rigs here just yet, and I'm not sure if you can even use them in UCI races (like the Verge series). We had put V-brakes on ours, but went back to cantis after just one mud-filled race this season. I think discs are the way to go, but they just haven't caught on yet - you're ahead of the curve!
Happy holidays, and SAFE skiing!
