Cyclocross and stuff

So last weekend I raced my second cyclocross race (CX), this time I decided to follow the advice of Mike and my Iron Cycle teammates and just have fun...and I did. I am horrible at this sport, I mean really bad, and this is something new to me. I was always one of the best soccer players on my team growing up so I never knew what it was like to be the kid who just played for fun, I played to win. Well I now I know I have no chance at winning. Being on my bike isn't the sanctuary that it is for most cyclists and that is probably because I am not a cyclist, but I like the challenge and I like knowing that I am healthy enough to finally do something that doesn't require me to be two feet from the bathroom. Anyway I finished 21st out of 23 but actually passed two girls and didn't crash on my last two laps. I have to look at the 1/2 marathon the same way, we know I am not going to win, I just have to have fun...and of course try not to crash :)

The knee is getting better, taught Step last night and iced...we shall see how it holds up in the 8mile run this weekend. Fundraising is going well...less then $1000 to go! Ok, I'll be back this weekend.
