Bubba on Sunday CX race report

• Not sure how the legs would respond today
• Took some extra time in warm up to get them feeling good
• Lined up with about 25 to 30 A racers
• Got the lead just past the start line and held that for just about the entire first lap
• Josh, Nate, Martin and Alex pass by
• Dan, Kurt and I form 2nd group
• Kurt falls off then shortly after so does Dan putting me in 5th alone
• Stayed this way for several laps with lead group pulling away while holding off chase group which now had Mark N, Paul Q, Dan and Kurt.
• With three to-go I was starting to feel it and began to slow on the power sections
• I pulled up a bit to join the chase group as they were closing, settle in behind, now 9th
• With one to-go Paul about wipes it after the barriers then a few corners later falls off. Now 8th
• With a few corners to-go Mark falls off just before the mud hole, now in 7th
• Kurt, Dan and I all together for the last few turns before the paved uphill before the finish.
• We all peg it, I could not get passed Kurt or Dan. Came home in 7th, Dan took the field sprint.
• Two 7th places for the weekend, just one spot away from a Bubba point.
• All goals accomplished this week.

Thanks to all that put on the weekend of racing, much appreciated.
