Well, I competed in my first cross race of the season today. This race is significant for me for because I have a hard time following through with the grand plans that I make sometimes. Also, I have really only been riding since April, and I certainly have never been in a real bike race. Today was different though; the race was every bit as hard as I thought that it would be, and I finished dead last in the beginner's class. You might think that I would be discouraged by such a poor showing, but you'd be wrong. I hate to lose and I hate not being prepared, both of which happened today. Next time will be different.

Thanks to Kunkle, Andi, Candice, Jenn, and Heather for coming out to cheer for me! You can check out some really good pics at Heather's website.
Also thanks to Scott Hodge for all of your support, and the much needed Gatorade!
