Pete and I have been competing in some of the cyclocross races around the area. I've done a few cat 4 races: 3 of the 4 Nebraska CX series races, Capital Cup, Boulevard Cup, and the Riverside CX. The only below par experience was Riverside, due to an overly technical course designed for mountain bikers, though the organization of the race was excellent. The other races went well: 1st at NE CX #2, 1st at Capital Cup, 2nd at NE #3 and at #4, 5th at Boulevard even with two crashes (should have been on the podium). Pete was 2nd at Nebraska CX #1, which was his first cx race! He ended up eighth yesterday, an excellent result on a fairly difficult course.
Next weekend is one of the big ones: Jingle Cross in Iowa City. The elite races are UCI, and total prize money is $20k. It's a fun course, and the competition will be top notch. I'm hoping to finish in the upper half of the masters 45+.
