Kisscross #1 Highland Park, Grand Rapids. Raced my single speed in the "geared" Open Women's "Sport" division and placed 8th out of 13. Not too shabby considering at least half of the women typically race in the "Elite" category for official USA Cycling events. It ended up being quite warm by 1pm and I suffered a bit (i'm NOT a very good hot weather racer..... in any sport). Heat radiated off of one of the large "run ups" and the long stretch through the prairie lowlands that led up too it....... ugh. I will totally welcome the cooler weather coming up that accompanies most cx races.
