State Cyclocross

Yesterday was the State Cyclocross Race - click on link to view some amazing photos. Unfortunately you won't see any of Monte during his actual Cat 3 race, but you will see he and Hagen trying to dodge a punch or two?! I guess the bullhorn heckling didn't sit well w/ some Wisconsin folks.

The weather was extra fun too - Monte honestly enjoyed all the snow because it made it a "true" cyclocross race and was more technical, which is what he's good at. So the "roadies" had a tougher time. Even the guys who continually took 1st and 2nd place in the Cat 3 races all season didn't finish - they just dropped out.

Monte was in 5th on the first lap and ended up in 12th. I wish we could have seen more of the race, but Ani and I were huddling together for warmth under the heated tent and she really didn't last too long w/ all the bulky snow gear we had her in - I was even in my entire ski outfit sans ski boots! Wet and heavy snow all day.

What are we going to do every weekend now that the cc season is over??? And if you want see what the race really looked like, here is a super cool video of the Cat 1/2 race.
