My First Race

[cwodiva]

Great job ladies!! (SHeefly and Wavedancer). I'm soooo jealous over the beer tent!! Sounds like an exciting race and wonderful pictures. I love the smile on your face wavedancer! Don't worry about the fall, if you don't fall at least once during the season it means you aren't going fast enough!

Don't worry about the fall, if you don't fall at least once during the season it means you aren't going fast enough!

Going to fast was definitely not the problem! It was one of my Monty Python
slow-motion tumbles that I have been working so hard to perfect over the last year on my mountain bike

Juligirl: Have a blast this weekend. I would say "don't be nervous", but I know that's impossible. I do hope to do some more beginner's races, so I'll be looking for you!

Here's a pic of SheFlyin' by after the barriers in the beer tent!

That looks like a really fun and unique course. The barriers in the barn are cool!

Great job WaveDancer! And it was great to meet you. And thank you so much for cheering loudly for me (check your PM). And SheFly you sure looked good to me, as in, way ahead! I was counting my place from the back, as in, how many spots from last place am I? I think I got 15th out of 18. I don't usually race in the "A" race! That course was so gnarly and, man, what's with all the hot weather during 'cross this year?! I managed to thoroughly enjoy the farm scenery and stay upright, though. I hung on a lady's wheel for 2 or 3 laps, then she cracked and I never saw her again. I was lapped by about maybe 4 of the leaders in my last or 2nd to last lap.

Whoa! ANOTHER happy camper in cyclocross events
Methinks I have to get out and find an event and watch one...
Maybe I am really missing out on something here...

Most excellent WaveDancer... great report, great sense of humour, great race!!!

WOOHOO!!!
