State Champ
Yesterday was the Colorado State Championship Cross race and it was on the Fort Lewis College campus. The course was pretty sweet, me and Guptill took a lap on the course with our road bikes after some help setting the course up. Made it to the venue around 8:10am and left around 5:30pm. It was a long day,but it was fun.
The elite race was the highlight of the day. There was a good size field with top names like Todd and Troy Wells, Matt Shriver, Anthony Colby, Joey T, Adam Snyder, the list goes on... It started out super fast with Troy controlling the front for the first half of the race. There as tons of attacking. A little over half way through, Todd and Shriver got a gap over Troy and Joey. They were off the front for a lap and then all of the sudden Shriver was alone! Shriver came through, Troy came through, Joey came through, still no Todd. Finally Todd came through, got a bike change and started storming back. By the end Todd had caught Joey and Troy and then proceeded to drop them and start to bridge to Shriver, but by that time it was too late the race was over. Congrats to Shriver for taking the win.
It snowed a bit last night. It looks like it might clear up for a good MTB ride later on today. One more week until Thanksgiving break!
