Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Zephyr Wu-Zucker

I woke up on Sunday ready to race. The preride had been super fun and I was ready to do 3 fast laps. As other races happened, I rode around trying to loosen up my legs.  I got to the starting area super early since I didn’t have a callup and was going to beContinue reading “Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Zephyr Wu-Zucker”

Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Odin Simms

After having missed two days of school and Friday’s practice because I was sick, I went into the race less confident than the practice races.  After the pre ride, I was exhausted, further worsening my confidence.   My goal for the race was to have a good start and clip into my pedals.  On the dayContinue reading “Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Odin Simms”

Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Lucas Nacamuli

When my alarm went off at 6:27 am I was ready to go. I quickly got out of bed and changed. Odin, Jacobo and I went down stairs and had the breakfast of champions, a chocolate muffin and sausages. Then I grabbed my stuff and loaded my bike on my car. Before I knew itContinue reading “Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Lucas Nacamuli”

Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Jake Gomez

When we got to the race on Saturday afternoon, I was so scared since I knew it was going to be very muddy. I like when the trails are a little bit muddy but not to the point where I’m drenched. After the pre ride I was so hyped since I had ended up havingContinue reading “Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Jake Gomez”

Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Tristan Schonfeldt-Aultman

I was not really anxious to race. Due to the trail making it very hard to pass people, I had already played the race out on my head multiple times. I thought I would start in general, since I did not have a call-up, and get to at most 15th place during the start ofContinue reading “Swasey Shred 03/08/20 – Tristan Schonfeldt-Aultman”

Granite Bay 2/23/2020 – Tobin Power

I was excited for my first MTB race ever. We pulled up to the event, and it was like all my tiredness from waking up at 5 am went away. There were tents everywhere with music playing, hundreds of people on bikes, and the cold wind blowing on me. I had put my bike inContinue reading “Granite Bay 2/23/2020 – Tobin Power”

Granite Bay 2/23/2020 – Violet Reed

I had a rough start in the morning and almost showed up late to the high school but the car ride there was fine. Getting out of the car it was warm(60 degrees) which was odd because I’m used to it being 30 degrees. Getting warmed up was normal until I saw, Rowan an oldContinue reading “Granite Bay 2/23/2020 – Violet Reed”

CCCX 2/9/2020 – Cate Flowers

First of all they really should not put the girls in the back where we have to pass almost the whole field to compete with the guys☹️ Sooo my race was a lot more tiring then I expected and a loooooot longer😂😂 I’m used to cross country races which are around 25 minutes max soContinue reading “CCCX 2/9/2020 – Cate Flowers”

CCCX 2/9/2020 – Lucas Nacamuli

As I pulled in to For Ord, I had a stomach ache due to stress and the croissant I had eaten. I was felling well rested (I had spent the night at my cousin’s house in Santa Cruz). I had woken up at 6am instead of 5am, so I was ready to go. I adjustedContinue reading “CCCX 2/9/2020 – Lucas Nacamuli”

CCCX 2/9/2020 – Felix Bloemraad

We arrived to the race in freezing temperatures. The organizers wouldn’t accept the form that I had filled out at home, but my hands were so cold that I could barely even sign my name on the new form they gave us. My bike was on a different car, which hadn’t arrived yet, so IContinue reading “CCCX 2/9/2020 – Felix Bloemraad”
