So the first day of Cross Nats is in the books....and the home town boys and girls have gone to KC and showed everyone who is the king/queen of cross is...Move over Portland, we are taking back our title!!!!
Up first were the Women's B race. After 45 minutes of racing, it was Broomfields own Kristal Boni taking the W from the Twin Peaks Racing team. She finished 5th in the Womens open in BCR this year. In second place was Morrison's own Shawnee Brenner racing for Red Rocks Cyclery. Finishing up the top 10 was Boulder's own Susan Prieto of Blue Sky Velo. Congrats Ladies on laying the wood to the rest of the US.
Third race of the day was the uber competitive Killer B's 30-39. In third place was Evergreen's own Simon Alexander of Echelon Elite. In 4th place was Longmonts own, the mechanic of the stars, Matt Opperman from Pro Peloton. Rounding out the top 20 was Jamie Kilcoyne in 7th, Brett Batchelder in 10th, Leo Patnode in 11th, Rob Batey in 14th (Rob started in the last row of a huge field and moved all the way up...Great ride Rob) and Kris Thompson in 18th. What a showing gentlemen!!!
In the last race of the day, the Killer B's 40+ it was Darron Cheek from Breckenridge in 3rd place and in 10th place representing Red Rocks Velo was Jared Shuttleworth.
Tomorrow there is another full slate of racing...check back sports fans, because we are just warming up

it was epic! the course turned to a mud-fest, getting worse as the day warmed up. the womens race was really a great race - shawnee moved a good 8-10 positions up to get to boni's heels but just couldn't close the gap. steve had a better race then his position eludes, couple of wrecks but managed some damage control. our race (30-39) was all about power, if you couldn't keep it on it was lights out and fast. everyone had a great race, thanks for the props.
