Working off the eternal classic, "My Favorite Things," I have come up with some of the things I enjoyed about today's race. Get the catchy tune going, and sing along with me...
(If you do not know what I'm talking about, shame on you, go see The Sound of Music immediately!!!!)
Bright sunny weather and windy conditions,
Lined up against the state's best competition,
Teammates and friends on the sideline cheering,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Running through sand and jumping o’er barriers,
Testing my strength as a rider and harrier,
Spurred by the timbre of cowbells that ring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When my legs hurt, when my lungs sting,
When I’m feeling mad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad!
Today was the culmination of my inaugural cyclocross season: The Colorado CX State Championships. I have never had more fun racing my bike than I've had this fall, and I was a little sad for it all to end. But studying for final exams is most important now, and I will be back and even better next season!
I had a solid final race, and finished 10th overall, and 1st in Cat 2. (The other 9 women that beat me are all pros, so I don't feel so bad!) Thanks to everyone who has lent me support this season, especially my super supportive and awesome husband Chris; I would not have made it this far without you!!!
