Andy's Cyclocross Races - Leavenworth #2 & #3

November 2009

Back to Leavenworth for another race on the campus at Saint Mary. After watching Andy come SO close for the last few races, it was really exciting to see him command the lead on this race and finish in first!


His category 4 group was huge! Over the barriers and up the hill...


A pretty backdrop

A commanding lead (he's already lapped that guy behind him)

Coming in for the finish... no one else in sight

And now on to... Leavenworth AGAIN! Here's #3 at St. Mary, with a little rain in the mix.

The start

Winding through the "spiral of death"

Scary...

Climbing the huge hill

Just cruising in for the gold... and 1st place in the DeStad series!

Oh, AND Andy was also the Kansas State cat. 4 champion!

After that, things got wetter... and muddier!! Here's Nathan after he finished:

Britton coming around a muddy curve

It was absolutely frigid, raining and windy... but we still managed to work the cameras and the keg.


I had to switch to my point and shoot... it was just too rainy to manage the other (and my fingers were frozen anyway). This one is blurry but fun w/ the mud and even a little cowbell.

Dan looking determined

and finished with 2nd place... yum
