I see a lot of talk on this forum about this Saturday's Branchbrook race, but the bikereg.com page says only @RileyHoonan and @Phil Maronilla have registered for Cat 4/5 races. I just registered for Cat 4/5 Race #2. Pre-registration closes in ten hours. Who else is in? The more Kissenas that race, the more people we can commiserate with about the sub-freezing air temperature.
Know what else is a thing? Hype. Also, the experience of opening the bikereg.com page, looking at the weather forecast, imagining how cold and dark it will be, remembering how disgraceful it is that you can't use your unlimited MetroCard on the PATH train, going back to bikereg.com to see who else is registered, seeing your teammates' names, and feeling like you've got an expectation to live up to. The merely human among us might could use a little arm-twisting.
At home with a gnarly cough / chest thing. Fingers crossed it will ease up by this evening but in the likely event I'm not racing tomorrow somebody else should grab that car spot cc @Jeffrey White
No results but a good contingent of new kissena racers and a solid race for all. Condon and I got 10th in our respective first races. 35+ Condon got 12th. If White and I can work on a leadout for Condon we might do alright.
Personally I need to work on my sprint pop but otherwise I felt okay threading through the pack. Good to be back in the mix.
Great to get out there again today. However I stupidly forgot to take pictures and my phone was in the car. Did anyone else get any shots? If so just DM me so I can post. Thanks.
