Pete won the Beginner's 45+ by several minutes, so he's the new state champ (He'll have to report on how it went). His daughter Simone also raced to a win in the junior women's division. Great job!
Andy and I competed in Sport-Andy in the Open, while I raced 45+. Andy had an excellent race, overcoming the loss of a chainring bolt, finishing 5th and 3rd Nebraskan, earning a bronze medal in the state championship.
I managed to crash twice during the race. First I missed the holeshot into the course and had to dump the bike to the side to prevent a big pile-up (I went from a 10 meter lead on the field to last place), then did an endo over my bars during a tricky dropoff while leading the race. That shot down my chance to win, losing a great deal of time having to gather myself after that more painful wreck. Even after that, I managed to stay second (Mark B. and I were dueling it out for first before the crash, and had a huge lead over everyone else). Had the third fastest Sport time over all classes as well, so I can't complain (would have won 35+ or finished second in Open). Good weekend for VVCC.
