$13,000 in cash and prizes for cross!! What a great race weekend. Only a few big hitters and a ton of local talent. I flew back to race in Iowa and see some family and friends. I raced in Ben's old skin suit and had Lefler Schwin racers from years past screaming on the huge run up. I had a blast. my dad and brother got to see me race and I was able to pull of a 6th and a 5th. My oldest brother John took a lap on the course in his jeans and I thought for sure we were watching the birth of a new Cutter. Wait till next year when he brings is bike with a snow blower motor on it."not kidding"
Can't wait to go back next year.
Gina Appleby( my niece) came out for her first Kids race and took 6th in an impressive field of what looked like 100 kids. They even had to do the barriers. She loved it. First female across the the line!!! I have to say another cross racer was born.
