:: in other news, the third cross practice of the year was by far, the best. the fool-hearty four were in attendance, and we did the usual warm up, start sprints, barriers, and chase our tails. start sprints, despite continued problem finding my cleats, were much improved over previous sessions. uphill barriers similarly, followed by near-catastrophic downhill barriers (by this point of the evening, r-lee's training tutelage that was well evident in the sprints, began taking a toll on the legs with the quads firing randomly at will - theirs, not mine - thus resulting in a few scary moments). the yearly cross-parts hunt is almost complete (with a last minute decision to go double ring on the pit bike to facilitate interval abuse), and so this weekend will be the yearly cross-ebay fest. see you all at iron cross lite! ::
