Pain + Suffer'n Weekend

3d Place on Day 2
Aptly named, this 3 day event had very challenging courses each day.  Day one's short track course was the toughest short track course I have experienced with several technical areas through a wooded area with a few climbs that put a good burn in the legs.  I finished 2d out of a small group in my Cat 3 35+ category.  Day two increased the technical aspects quite a bit and had several climbs that exhausted every rider.  A long granny gear climb (or walk - which became a popular option for some) decimated the legs and lungs from lap one and every rider seemed to be just fighting to survive from that point.  I finished 3d in the Cat 3 35+ category.
The final days cyclocross race was possibly the toughest cyclocross race I have ever participated in.  Just a lot off climbing for my weary legs.  Finished 15th out of 24 Cat 3 35+ racers.  I fun weekend of pain and suffering.
