#83: Columbia #4 CX photos
Here are some photos that Keith Nash took on Sunday (Columbia #4) of the nasty, nasty run-up.
First lap up the hill:
Stepping across the washed out run-up, still first lap up
2nd lap, Barret caught up!
3rd lap… battling it out with Barrett and Brett.
Top of the hill, getting ready to chase…
The small chicane before going onto the pavement….
Results are up for both days….both on TBRA and USA cycling.
And I moved up into 4th on the TBRA CX3 rankings… I could move up and end the season as 3rd if I get out and race Chattanooga next weekend (like I am planning). But there are three more races in Knoxville that might mess that up (I am not going to those) and some of those others may/may not just based on geography (they live much closer than I do to Knox).
- Michael Biegalski 424 pts
- (Edward) Barrett Krei 316 pts
- Noah Niwinski 202 pts
- Ryan Bosio 175 pts
- Cal Hill 173 pts
- Chad Black 163 pts
- Michael Viertel 137 pts
The other thing that has been improving is my ranking on USA cycling for Cat 3 cyclocross. I know that only the Columbia races have been reported to USAC… I am not sure why only some of us that are racing show up in the ranking, maybe the CX and Road category need to be 3? I am currently 15th with a bunch of mid-Atlantic and NE racers ahead of me. I really don’t understand these rankings since they appear to be so random…. even USAC’s own cyclocross nationals were not reported… how does that work? Only about 1/2 of the races are usually put up. It is inconsistent enough to be annoying. And meaningless.
