Me taking a barrier with my bike.So, as I said before, this weekend was insanely busy. Because I don't have tons of time, you get another photo essay of the busyness.
A lot of people rode their bikes through the sand here, but since we are all beginners, most of them only made it halfway through before they had to get off their bikes and it cost them a lot of time. I decided to go with my strengths and just run through it. I gained a lot of time by doing that.
This reporter interrupted a conversation I was having to ask if he could interview me for the local paper. The Guy thinks he chose me, because I don't ride with a team and he wanted to speak to a beginner. If that's what he wanted, he certainly got that with me.
The Guy and I after our races. The Guy got third in his and I did better than I ever have before. Saturday was a good day.
My brother, my sister-in-law and my brother's Little Brother and Stinky after dinner. It was nice to see them and we had a good talk. There was a big discussion about gender socialization that I thought might overwhelm The Guy, but he seemed totally into it and contributed quite a bit.
On Sunday a couple of friends joined us. Neither The Guy or I had as good a racing day, but we had a wonderful day in general.

Churlita,
Wow, I'm happy to see your life so full. As you know, it's not the finsh but how you get there that's important. :)
