I was supposed to go with the Squires brothers back in 2001, but an injury kept me home...good thing too. It was so cold that I dont think they even raced the second day. They drove home in a ice/snow storm.
I guess in my old age, I have no desire to line up with 171 of my fellow cross brothers and know that USAC is going to be pulling people within the first 2 laps because they will be overwhelmed with scoring the race. Plus here is a list of the guys in the 35-39 age race:
Clark Sheehan, Travis Brown, Bandon Dwight, Glen Light, Tim Faia, Clay Harris, Jared Roy, Matt Opperman and Rob Batey
These are the same guys that I can race against right here in my back yard. Why drive over 600 miles to get my ass handed to me again, when that happened most of this year. Good luck to all of the CO racers that have headed over to KC for nationals.
This is the same course that last year, Steve Tilford crashed into the lake becasue the course was icy almost drowned....but in true cross spirit, he got some new gloves and kept on racing and ended up winning the race.
Check back for daily updates and our take on who won and how they won as the days go by.
