Cross has been going great, super fun! I'm doing my first cross race this weekend in Chicago Cross Cup at Dan Ryan. I got a friend whose going to help me out with the course lol. Training has been great. Been practicing a lot, dismounts, shouldering, remounts, starts, etc. Can't wait for the race. I saw a Youtube video of the course. Not too much running but a lot of the stuff is very ridable.

I did the race and it went GREAT-ish. No but with all seriousness it went great. I was put in the back of the grid but when they blew that whistle, I went all out. For me first cross race I made it to the main group but someone crashed in front of me and then I dropped my chain then I was hopping between 12th and 13th. I ended up getting 12th in a powerful sprint. That course was very fun. The descents where my strength. Other kids where braking and I just went no brakes lol. I have disk brakes so..... Anyway, the commentator talked about me a bit and I had a few people that know me from the road cheer me on which was motivating. All in all I didn't come home with any hardware but I knew I went balls to wall. All out.
Next week is the Carpentersville. Hopefully I will be gridded better. I'll do some more practice this week. There's also this clinic Wednesday night so I might go, chill with some friends.
Anyway, thats it for today. More updates to come..
PEACE
