I'm a pro

That's right. I raced Open (Pro 1/2) this weekend at Frisco. I only raced saturday but I all I can say is wowwwwwww. Cross+60 minutes+super fast guys=pain. I am not even a cat 2 even though I could upgrade but I am just going to stay a 3 for now and race up in Open. Well the race, started out uber-hard, not that it was any easier the rest of the race, I didn't think I was finish the race because I started like 2nd to last row and had to work through the field because I started like 30th out of 40 and started behind a crash. I made it up to about 20th or so and settled into a rhythm when I caught my team mate Skyler and we both picked up the pace and passed like a group of 5 guys and secured 2 spots in the top 15. I started to pull after a little while with skyler this was about 30-40 minutes into the race. But then I put in a monster effort up the huge paved climb to stay ahead of the chasers who weren't far behind. Skyler then told me he wasn't sure if he could hang on with my pace and he dropped off and this was about 2 laps to go. He was starting to gain on me fast because I was passed the usual 45 minutes I do in a cross race and my cleat was getting really worn out making it hard to get clipped in. Then it came down to the last single track section i had about a 2 second gap and Skyler was on my wheel. This was epic! He came up trying to pass me on the last barriers literally 50 meters from the finish and we had a insane sprint with me being the winner giving Blacksheep 13th (me) and 14th (Skyler) in the Open out of 38th!!!! I would say not bad given this was my first crack at the open race in cross and how I am stacking up against past wunderkind who are older now.

Doin the insane quadruple barriers
