It's cross season!!

The 2014 triathlon season was a great season that included PB's, staying healthy and strong and some great training sessions and racing paces; but it had one exception - worlds. I pent up so much nervous energy that week leading up to my race days that I totally crapped the bed come performance time. Had nothing in the legs and was disappointed to say the least. Even though I know all the do's and don'ts of nervous race energy, it didn't seem to help me for this one. Note to self: must learn to control nerves.

Although I'm always a little bummed out when tri season comes to an end, I also get really excited because it means that x-country running and cyclocross seasons are starting up! If you don't know, cyclocross is a funny sort of combination of road and mountain, speed and technical and ride your ass off to the finish. It's often cold and muddy; it's hard and scary (for me, because I'm a chicken), slippery and wet but also awesome!

Fall usually means double (or more!) race weekends between me, javelin daddy and littleman followed by long family cooked suppers and a often cold pint. Fall is good.
