New Year, New Classes, More training.
A lot has gone on sense the last time I have updated.
New classes this semester with a new start is always a good thing. I am really looking forward to the last semester of my junior year taking some classes that I really enjoy. Yearbook is going to be my favorite class this semester because of more responsibilitys along with staying after school for editors meetings. A new responsibilty for this semester is my assignment as co-assistant photo editor with a friend of mine. So far my Language Arts class is incredibly easy due to us reading stories and answering questions during the class.
With only a little over month until the start of this years road season, training is kicking into gear. Riding on the weekends with some of the guys down south I have been getting in some good mileage. Lifting weights during the week has a nice change from riding almost every day during the summer and fall. I hope to be riding well for the first race of the year in Columbia MO.
Clarice and I vistited Union Station this weekend and here are a few pictures I wanted to share.

Cyclocross Nationals
Cross nats went very well for me this year. I felt like I was on pretty good form leading up to the race. With snow that had melted on the course, everything started to get very muddy which for me, the muddier the better. I felt really good the morning of the race while warming up and was very happy and surprised to see Clarice and Brandon (girlfriend and good friend) at the race. My third row starting spot for the race was a good position to be in. The race started and it was a very fast start with everyone trying to stay upright after hitting the first muddy turn. It was a very fun race however very difficult to ride some of the offcamber turns. I had several people working the pit for me so I was able to get a new clean bike every lap. I finished the race to find Brian Harrdy waiting just after the finish line with my jacket, an awesome thing to see after finishing the race. I ended up 20th place which I was very thrilled about because the field this year was incredibly fast. Chris Wallace got 5th place so that was a great ride for him especialy because he left Friday for Europe. With Nationals over it is very nice to have a few weeks to rest before starting all over again next spring.
Thanks to everybody that helped me out at Nationals,
Alex
