MSC #8 Race Report: Short Track and Cross Country

Man, did I have a tough race weekend. Short Track? Second from last. Cross Country? Second from last. My only consolation is that I went into XC with the intention of just riding (not racing) after my dismal performance in ST. So I put in the two slowest laps in the field...then on the third lap I lit a fire under my rear and put in the hottest lap in the field. Guess I just needed a good warm up.
The weekend wasn't a total bust, even though I raced poorly; I kept up my habit of meeting interesting folks at races, and thoroughly enjoyed riding a sweet XC course. I just didn't ride it very fast. :)
