Hermann Cross Under the lights came to an end last night with perfect weather, great racing, screaming fans and awesome volunteers.
It's been a long few days, few weeks actually of cross promotion and well worth it. Even if my legs suffered from it when it came time to race, 19th place last night. But for this night, I have as much fun ringing the cowbell as I do pushing the pedals. Coming up the stairs I think about 15 times last night full of people screaming, ringing cowbells, live band playing, and even fireworks was amazing.
Now with cross officially started my focus can shift back to training and racing. I know I'll need to be fast to hold on to my 08 State jersey, I know one guy for sure who is out to get it!
See you next weekend in at Ronde Von Evergreen
Another awesome race, Jeff. Well done.

Maybe next year you can police your spectators on the stairs during the Mens open race. Drunk and belligerent "spectators" were shouting F..K (certain teams names) and pouring beer on racers. Don't forget that under (drinking) age racers are racing in the mens event and the "dispensing" of alcohol on to them projects the wrong image of the event and sport.
