What a weekend!

This weekend was action packed. Saturday was the first ever Rico-Challenge adventure race held at Lake Sammamish State Park. Eric and Robin designed a fun course with a few surprises thrown in including a couple teammate swaps and a kick bike time trial. Photos are posted on the official Rico-Challenge website.

Today was my cross race at Donida Farm. I lined up late again and was stuck near the back of the pack. Then about a minute before the start I remembered that my tires were pumped up to road pressure, so I was frantically letting out air at the last minute. Oops. I was in the back for what seemed like an eternity. The muddy singletrack didn't allow for much passing, and then I got stuck behind two crashes and was passed by a number of girls. Somehow/somewhere I passed them all up again because I finished in 3rd! That was the toughest race I've done yet. I posted a few pictures here.
