Chicago Cross Cup #2 Dekalb
Last weekend Pam, Maggie (our dog), and I headed up to Chicago for some cross racing. Friday was dedicated to driving up to chicago and having a relaxing evening at my Dad's condo in Evanston. Saturday Pam and I got up early and took Maggie for a 3mile walk around Northwestern's campus. Starbucks was needed prior to the walk. We then headed out for a nice spin around Evanston and Skokie. Hitting up some sweet skate parks and bike paths.
Sunday was race day. It was a early morning because Dekalb was not as close as we thought it might be. We got there in time to watch the masters race. Great job Pony shop on winning both the 40+ and the 30+. Pam then raced in the 1/2/3 womens race and had a great result of 5th place. It was then time for my race. Was not feeling so good on my warm up laps so I was not sure how the body was going to feel. I took the whole shot and never looked back. The course at dekalb was very demanding on the body. It took a lot of fitness to keep the speeds up. I ended up winning, just ahead of Scott and Popper. Got 3 wins in the books now for 2009. Not bad for only 3 weekends of racing.
