a hard stretch of hill. i'm not going to shift down, though, i come up off the saddle, i'm pushing it. one more kilometer to climb. it's so incredibly pitiful that i ever wanted to do this, but now i'm stuck with it.

Putting the charm in Charm City Cross

First cyclocross race ever today. It was awesome. Raced in the C class in Baltimore. Finished 8th out of 64 starters. That's top 12.5%, I'll take it. The motivation derived from the yelling of Fort James, fatmarc, and Paul Incognito made a huge difference, and Dan kept me motivated on the course, finishing a solid 10th.

In the B class - Slick Rick took the honors, fatmarc in a respectable 5th or 6th. E-town took the 1st lap preem - a tube of chamois butt'r. Wes rocked hard in A class, even after a nasty cartwheel.

I'm so grateful to be part of the DCCofD, and maybe a provisional member of the Secret Henry's Team. Until then I'll be reppin' RPI in the mid-Atlantic.
