CX Season Opener

Lots of fun & pain! Raced the women's C's. (I'll jump into the B's soon, but for yesterday the C's were right.) Technique felt great and I felt like barfing the first 2 laps. In retrospect, I should have kept it on the barf mode for the next 2 laps - b/c it was on the 3rd lap that I let up and was passed by 2 in my category. So I settled for 3rd. I even managed to pass a few women in the B's, which was a good incentive.
We brought the kids and let them run around with their bikes. They played with some of the other little kids who were hanging around and I could see everywhere they went from the little hill I was on - where I'd parked myself during Morgan's race. Once Morgan was done, we switched and he took over "lookout duty" while I raced. Each time I came around the course I could see Sam & Lu up in the trees behind the feed zone. Tree climbing occupied them for a good 2 hours, which gave us some time to hang out after my race and watch Barry Wicks race with the A's. Dang that guy is fast.
Some pIcs.
Morgan's race went well. He managed 5th in the men's B's in a field of 30 or so.
