Woolley Cross

Whew, i am as the french say, "le tired". Saturday, Greg and I rallied up to Sedro-Woolley for part 3 of the Cascade Cross series. The course was long and pretty much non-technical. Lots of wide turns and a super long straightaway through grass with a hidden inch of water under the blades to make everything soggy. Also some gravel paths, 2 slippery uphills, a nice steep run-up and a bit of muddy farmland for good measure. We did a Le Mans start with the master Bs, with the women and SS 1 min behind. Greg rocked it, coming in 4th and I was a bit behind in 11th/19. The fun part for me was ending up mid-race near this dude from Cycle U who kept attacking, trying to get away, and I didn't let him go until the last lap. I think he burned way too much energy b/c he was darn near the back on Sunday's race.
