Weather has been something else for this year's National race. Each day has had its very own character. Friday was mud over icy ruts after the a.m. races have mostly icy ruts. Sunday looks to be most like Saturday: icy and cold, maybe another dusting of fresh snow.
Friday was the race I've really trained for since Iron Cross. That's when I decided I'd do the rest of the CX season and aim for a trip to Nats.
The weather has made the course a bit more demanding as it was superbly muddy. Slick. Not a fast power course but much more a technical finesse course. A very good day at the races. Made the bronze podium step!
Maybe more later, connections are hard to come by with all the racers here. But then again...I'm slow on the blog front. Didn't ever get to posting the snowy KissCross / Holland race. That was fun too.

Great job on the bronze.
Congratulations on the great race. I was glad to see yesterday that they had the results online because I was curious to find out how you had done. Some of the photos they've got posted look pretty wild.
Hopefully today's race will be great too. Have fun out there!
Great job!! Odd results as we discussed. Way to persevere in some really trying conditions!!
Way to kick some major booty! Way to represent Michigan :-)
Thanks much. It was an incredible batch of riding and racing. Sure has me fired up for another year.
