Double Crossed

This weekend was a cross race on both Saturday and Sunday. The raace on Sat was in Whitewater and the conditions were anything but good from the start. It was raining and the course was a mowed open field with a few barriers tossed in. Nate was hooked up with his mtn bike having disc brakes and the fenders I put on. He got a good start and just rolled away for the win. He didn't even get any mud on his clothes and his bike wasn't that muddy. The races that went off later the course just got worse and the racers just looked like they were suffering. I'm glad Nate went went when he did as the course was in better shape for his race then the later races. Sarah looked good since it was her first cross race of the year. Pat looked like he was having fun playing in the mud as did Ray.

The race today was in Cam Rock. The course was laid out better but the conditions were anything but good. As Russell, The Boy and I got to the race there was still snow on the ground and 32 degrees. Russell went off first and got a bad start and had to work his way through the field. He finished in the middle of the pack. Nate went off next and got a good gap and just rolled it to the end for another win. He didn't look that well before the race and after he looked worse. Right after getting home he got sick and fell asleep by 7pm. I hope he feels better so he can go to school as he has never missed a day of school. Again Sarah raced well, Pat looked good and Ray raced well. Samantha looked real good and finished 3rd in the women 1 2 3's. Ron was looking ok as we were leaving also. No time to get Nate's bike cleaned up and read the paper. Later..
