I wondered "do my light batteries take 2 hours to charge, or 17...?"  Oh well, I unplugged them half-charged and headed out the door anyhow just past midnight this Monday.

Round Four of the Bay Area Superprestige Cyclocross Series.  Good times.  Kevin and I rolled out in the morning bound for San Francisco, but first a stop at the Marin Farmers market.  The mission: find and buy lots of medjool, bhari, and honey dates.  We lost, as the date people were no where to be found.

Sometimes I just have to ask, why am i doing this?  Heading to a race that is.  It always seems like a good idea until the night before, then I start being introspective and questioning my plan, at least when I feel underprepared.

Flow. The zone. Whatever you call it, I found it under the lights last night at the Sierra Point stop of the Bay Area Superprestige Cyclocross Series.

We came. We saw. We ran really fast.

It may be 'cross season, but I'm still getting my run on. Riding a bike is great and all, but there is something about flying over the ground on two feet that just feels so natural.  Oh, and there is a 5k I want to hit hard this coming weekend.

Ask and ye shall receive.  I had been praying for rain and mud all weekend, and my prayers were answered Saturday morning.  I think Kevin and Bradley can attest to how fired up I was before the race.

"...first, get rid of that grass. She's a cow, not a hippie!"
