...the puddle right after the start/finish was the least of my worries. Sitting on the trainer before the race I had told myself that I was going to avoid that puddle & not start the race off with wet feet. I already knew the course from a pre-ride on Saturday so no need to leave the comfort of the tent & trainer. After the whistle & my successful avoidance of the "the puddle" after the start, it wasn't long before I discovered the three stream crossings on the course created by the heavy rain/wet snow that fell all day. Wet feet, deal with it. I've raced in colder & wetter conditions...whatever. KC Nats in '07 it was in the 20's, snowing, & we had to ride through two big ponds each lap. That was wet & cold!
Thanks to all that make the Wednesday-nighters happen. It pretty much sets the tone for my Thursday, tired & out of it. Seriously though, thanks to those who help pull it off.
I'd guess maybe 8 people made the 1 hour trip up from Lincoln, good job to all those that did & to everyone else that ventured out of their warm homes to willingly make themselves uncomfortable.
Later,
TK
