Vet Cross and good mexican food

A cold day at Leavenworth High School. It's finally starting to feel like cross season! I really enjoyed the course today, there were lots of straight aways but not very technical. The course had two dismount sections and one steep uphill but it was rideable. Not very much running on the course which I liked. The 3/4 race started with 36 people and I had a front row spot. There were a few crashes on the first lap but thankfully I was able to avoid them and make it up to the front group of 6. From there our group would split up and come back together the entire race until a Freestate rider attacked (sorry i don't know your name). At the time I was not able to go with the move and he ended up riding away from the group finishing with a pretty large gap on the rest of the group. On the last lap of the race I was able to get around a lapped rider in a tight section of the course and because of the lapped rider I was able to get a gap on the other guys and I ended up holding them off for second place.

After my race was over I was able to walk around the course with Clarice and take pictures of the 1/2/3 race where I got some pretty decent pictures.

After the race my family, along with Clarice and the Wallace's, ate at the new Mexican resturant in Parkville called Agave. It's a really great place and plus it's smoke free.
All and all it was a great day.
