CX Practice at Elks Aidmore

**

We had a great turn-out for CX practice this weekend.  Jim set-up a tough course at Elks Aidmore and at least 15 racers showed up to get in a power-house workout!




Jafer (center) is praying he will make it onto our blog.........Tim joins in the moment of silence, as Elizabeth looks on in amusement.

We have seen Travis more this year and it's been cool to catch up!


It was cool to have Kim, Holly, Trish and Elizabeth out there to enjoy the perfect weather and kick butt course.  These are some of the original group of cx female racers in Georgia.  Trish (2001 or possibly earlier?), Kim (2002), Me (2003), Holly (2004), Elizabeth (2006)  It's a pretty cool reunion to get to practice together!  Kim said there were 21 women lined up in the A race at the start of the series this year!  Wow!

After practice Daryl cleaned out the trunk of his car and handed out wicking shirts and jerseys. Oooohhhh, treats!

The course was fun, but I didn't realize how much climbing it had until I was on my way home.....the long way.......wishing I had taken the short way.......on my last two climbs.  I was wiped by the end of it all and happy to hang out with Jansen on the sofa for awhile!
