S.C.X. Finals - My family and friends!




This entry deserved its own post. I'm so excited to add this entry of the success of Kristi, Holden, and my teammate Corrie.

First off Corrie, in her first year of 'cross racing has learned so much and it has really shown that she is willing to do the work, and take notes when people such as Kristi, her husband Micah, and other teammates offer advise. This to me defines a someone with big fun future ahead. She has talent and the willingness to learn and the ability to listen and process information. Corrie went into the race 3rd Oveall I believe, and with the help of teammate Cristina working hard for her, WON the race out right! Holy moly was it a nail biter as the chase was on by the other girls only every chance they got close, they would fumble or crash in the greasy corners, and Corrie would simply ride away looking smooth and in control. Corrie went on to win, and with that win, netted the OVERALL victory in the Categort 4 SCX series! I'm really proud of her, and how much she has grown as a true cylco-crosser this season. She will be upgrading to a Cat. 2 next year. Look out Bitches!
Holden raced his last race of the year in the Jr. 10-12 year olds and finished in 6th place wich was good enough to get him 2nd Place overall in the series. Kristi and I are so pround of him, and how he has stuck out finishing all of his races in the cold and wet and tough days. We are hoping that his opportunity of being on a winners podium with a bunch of people cheering will be the learning lession reward for perseverance. Regardless of where he ever goes in the sport of cycling, Holden has began to learn what dedication and committment means, not only in sport but that in life. He's happy and very proud of his accomplishment, and so are we. Great Job Holdenator!
Finally, I have to give a big "Wahoo!" to Kristi for an incredible season. Kristi won convincingly at Monroe for her 8th win of the 8 race series. Yeah, that's right, she was undefeated in the SCX series, and took her 8th Title in this prestigious series. I believe that she is the most winningest rider in the series history. She works hard, she races well, she is a great sportman, role model, coach, and she deserves everything that she has earned.
I wish her all the luck as she heads to Oregon in search of a Masters National Championship. She is on the right path.
