Boss Cross / Boulder Cup

Troy's early race report:





Saturday @ Boulder Reservoir 19th outta 40 some in the 35+ 1/2/3's. Felt pretty good, tough course, gravel, sand, sand, sand, hot.
Sunday @ Harlow Platts 16th outta 50 some in the 35+ 1/2/3's. Today was awesome. 45 minutes of bike to bike action. The whole event was a battle for position with a 4 up, 200 yard, uphill sprint to finish, I held on for 2nd in the group. There wasn't any point in the race when I wasn't either fighting somebody off or looking for a chance to pick off somebody up ahead. This is the way it should be. Glad I came.



Boss Cross:

Craig and I made the trip to the Boss Cross race in KC on Saturday. Craig raced twice placing 10th in the 35+, and 27th 4's. Good practice on the Nationals course for Smitty!

As for myself.......illness overcame motivation which resulted in a DNF. I pulled out when it became apparent that I was doing myself more harm than good. 6 more weeks till Nationals so it's time to kick this bug.
