Cyclo Cross Season

This is Bubba, Buttheads dog, from Columbia. He is not dead yet so we have a memorial race series in his name, The Missouri Bubba Memorial Cyclcocross Series. Pfoodman sponsored the series and made some cool shirts, raised some money for Stray Dog Rescue and gave Bubba some mad props along the way. Doesn't he look fast? That ain't no puppy.

Cross season was particularly painful this year. Especially at the start of the season, when the task of heart rate control is pretty tough since the 50 minute races are balls out until you puke. It takes me at least four races to get the rhythm. This years build up was no different, I was set to peak at State, in KC, but a blizzard blew it for me. Blew Tilford in to the lake, too.
