Crazy Long Exhausting Fun Emotional week

Yeah. All of the above.

How the hell am I going to capture it all. I will try.

I wrote long hand on the flight out, then didn't touch the pen/paper or touch fingers to a keyboard with thoughts of organizing ideas to post here until now.

I've recounted the trip a few times and man, what a good story all together.

I haven't bothered to check the online results. The paper ones were correct and the officials I talked to assured me that the printed paper ones are official and the online ones are not. Too bad Results boy probably is going to use unofficial wrong results to tabulate ranking shit from Nats.

The worst parts? The course on Thursday. It was icy, snowy and lame and short, and flat and fucking sketchy. SS race on Friday wasn't much better except the snow had been swept off by all the tires and the temps dropped and it was the slickest of every race out there (more tack in the morning even).

Anyway I will try and get into it more later. The story is well worth documenting. I had a blast. There are great photos from the "Clydesdale Cyclocross Championship of the Universe" and a handful of videos. I'm about 4th off the first turn, and then 10th in the off camber section (i hooked the bars on a stake and let too many of the thundering herd pass me at that point).

It was off the hook crazy, esp the party afterwards. They needed 3x the capacity to get all the fans at the Fat Guy race into the warehouse. If they had, the party REALLY would have been off the hook.

anyway - more later - eventually.
