Fantasy 'cross

For the record, I don't normally play "fantasy" type games unless they involve dungeons, dragons, or scantily clad women.  But, in an effort to learn more about 'cross and perhaps get some bragging rights, I signed up for the Cyclocross Magazine Fantasy Cyclocross.  And I don't even remember doing so.

It was back when the weather was warm and the birds were chirping instead of shivering and I hadn't been stricken with the swine flu that I decided to pick some riders I'd never heard of and half-heartedly monitor their results.  That was the easy part.  You need to pick Katie Compton and then some other people and you'll do fine.  The hard part was coming up with a name for my team.  Finally, after what must have been a minute of consideration, I decided on "Cap'n Slow's Sufferfest Revue" and I must say the results have been better than expected.

I'm not sure of the fantasy team names my teammates.  I've seen "Frites" and "Frites en Mayo", and "Frites for my Mayo, Dammit".  But I had to search long and hard (HEY NOW!) to find them because, for the first time in any competition, I am leading my Frites teammates!  Yes, my fantasy team is sitting at #100 in the standings whereas the other are far behind.

That's gotta hurt more than this:
