Wake Up, Kick Ass, Repeat

 

I hope it is not true

While I was at work not racing yesterday I heard some very disturbing reports from Wheeler Farm. The story is that some of the front runners decided they could cheat and not run the barrier section. WTF? I really hope it is not rrue. It is one thing to ride around barriers if you are last and not taking points from another racer, but to be riding for a placing? Plain and simple you are a cheater. You are no better than all those dopers who steal contracts and prize money from the clean riders. Please do everyone a favor and quit racing ‘cross. In fact just quit racing. Go into politics, your lying and cheating ways will be rewarded handsomely.

I was the backmarker shouting “I have no honor, I have no shame!” when I Linde’ed the barriers … but at two laps down, the only benefit that I got was that Julie got to stare at my ass instead of me staring at hers through the single-track.

Oh, wait …

That should have been the other way around. DAMN!

And I hauled ass through the single-track to not hold her up, and pulled off on the other side to let her pass.

I only saw Flahute skirt the barriers and no, he didn’t make any qualms about it. I got to yell at him to push it through the single track which was fun for me because if he did hold me up, I would have let him have it.

Pat Putt got a taste of me hollering at him as well on the last lap. At least I’m not getting lapped this year like I did last year.

What sort of lame ass in the front goes around the barriers? Apparently cross is getting too serious again. Time for me to throw a wrench in that method of thinking and quickly.

People were skipping the barriers in the 9:30am group. Seriously, if you don’t want to jump over barriers don’t race cross.
