One Week

It's only one week post-'cross racing, and I'm already feeling a lonely emptiness. 'Cross has been fueling my inner drive and happiness for the last 3 months, and while I'm ready for a rest physically, my mind doesn't yet want to let go.

Too bad my finals fall this week, or I definitely would have made the trip to KC for Nationals. I cruised the results all weekend, with big thoughts and big dreams of competing next year.

I went for a run this morning, in the snow and with temps barely cracking the positive digits. I couldn't help but think how epic the CO State CX Champs would have been today, just one week later. It would have been frigid, but I would love it!!

"Cyclocross is an
adrenaline charge
on a nice day but,
it's even better when
conditions take a turn
for the worse."

Only one long week of comprehensive final exams to go, and then it's nothing but R&R for 3 weeks. I'm already starting to plan for 'cross season next year!
