this is gonna be a big post...

pretty happy kid huh?

today's race was super fun. Started off 8 guys which is nice in the B/C field. the start went and i took the wholeshot with another guy right behind me. Immediately pushed and told the other guy that i wanted a gap within the first two laps just to be sure. The third lap rolled around and my dad told me the lead was up over a minute. so i was pretty physched. so the setup was me and one other guy and then a group of three guys chasing for the first 3 laps. First and second would come out of my group with a sprint and 3rd from the other group. after i led the first 2 laps and made the gap i sat in off the back of the guy i was with, resting and holding out for the sprint. Sprint came and i beat second place by about 4 bike lengths. it felt good. so i won a DVD of U23 Cross worlds but its in dutch. pictures...
