amphitheater of pain... Beacon's signature...

Beacon.

Good race. I was able to snake my way into the 3rd row, so despite not getting a call up, because I haven�t scored a MAC point in over 2 years I got a really good start. The course was wicked fast, and there was a large lead group. I was really stoked to be riding near the leaders for so long. It wasn�t until almost the end of the second lap that I was off, and riding in a second group. The sand pits were tough, I found it was best to try and ride some of them and then run the last bits. I'm no Dieter or Zane or even Biddle (the ty domi of cross) and couldn't pull off coasting the sand pits of doom.
