my dog is a shit machine...

Warming up with my teammates and I hear this from the crowd...

"that's Wes on the front, Auer is second, and the third guy, that's the big guy..."

awesome.  Saturday's race was hard. I struggled. Didn't expect that.
finished 51st.

Ouch.. Had fun racing again, but not my best...


highlight was following Joe P through a local line and he screams, "the tape is back!"
miraculously I ducked and made it under the tape unscathed. Unbelievable. I pretty much died shortly there after...

Sunday I started in the back of 50+ field. Fought my was to just outside the top 10 three laps in, and
kinda popped myself giving back spots to LVG, B Wahner, Doug G, and J West. I got myself together and pulled back a couple of spots to finish 15th. Not the greatest result, but frankly I was pleased with my ride and my effort.

highlight of the weekend by far was the folks in the community who were welcoming Diane back. She raced hard both days. I was really proud.

community is one of the big reasons I love cross.

I think I was at about a 7 this weekend. Gotta get that turned up to 10...

Two races in the bank... It was pretty awesome...

51 saturday, 15 sunday... weird science huh?


respect.
