Snowmageddon 2010

Snowmageddon 2010!

Nice little cross race in the snow. It was a great way to celebrate the wonderfull weather of last week.
30 minutes. Snow balls were fair game(except the face).
After a few laps I got nice an hot and had to zip down. Which just made me a big target for the kids. After a lap or two w/out a shirt I could hear them yell "open chest guy" as I came near and WAM! No mercy. I fell over a whole bunch, but got up to throw a few snowballs and even squirt them with my water bottle. I definitely didn't win, but had plenty of fun.

Well I finished, so I'm happy. There was a decent amount of walking involved. Especially after the first mile, where we had to ford the creek. It was almost crotch deep and flowing quickly. I ditched my shoes and shocks and walked across. After that my legs started cramping, despite the HEED. So I had to struggle with cramps the whole way. I even over-hydrated and had to go 3 times. The rock garden was pretty awful, lots of walking. Hopefully next month will be better, and hopefully I'll have a fancy pants Rohloff hub.

Right now Cincinnati is covered in about 6 inches of snow. I haven't touched my bike since Saturday. I'm going to have to make up for that indoors...soon.
