Progress?

I almost got taken away in an ambulance at Saturday's race, but let's not talk about that one.

So, here's the full story. Last year, I bought a Surly Crosscheck off of my friend Peter because I was told that I would ruin my roadbike by commuting to Swarthmore all the time. Peter's cross-savy and he's won races on a fixed gear before, and he was trying to get me to come out to a race. I was shy, and wasn't into the whole race scene. But, Botto and Pete dragged me out to a race. I bought a one-day license to do it and it was the only cross race I did that year. I raced my hardest and I didn't even get to finish because I got lapped by the leader of the C men. I placed 14th out of 20.

That race was the same race I won yesterday. I rode the switchback this year.

I hope this story is just beginning.
