Bubba CX #4 Race report

Well, it was me to fly the TRW flag at Bubba on Sat night.  This was actually the best course we had all season here in STL.  We had almost everything, a tight, twisty and turny course with a set of 3 barriers and a double sand pit!  I was stoked to see some technical elements finally being added, now if we could only get some mud!  Anyhow, I was lame and totally uncreative and decided not to don any costume, except my precious TRW kit.  Because of my lack of costume, I started third row, not too bad, but I knew it was going to be a struggle.  Before I knew it, I heard Buddy tell the field something and then we were off.  The pace started off quite nicely, till we hit the sand pit and then carnage was everywhere.  I tried to ride in as much as I could, but since no one else can ride sand I was off and running,  Running the full sand pit gassed me more than I would have thought, which is why I changed my strategery for the rest of the race and decided riding the second half of the sand was way quicker and less taxing.  Almost immediately after the sand was a set of barriers, which normally aren't an issue.  I tell you what though, when you take 2 normal barriers and add a third, it hurts quite a bit more.  I found my places to hammer and a few small spots to recover and had a good race and good legs.  I think I finshed just outside of the top twenty, but who knows since the results seemed to get completely F-ed. 

Hope to see some more of you queers out at the next couple CX races in STL.
