(Baby got) Bac at the Tac

The Cross Revolution guys put on yet another great race down at North SeaTac Park.  The cross scene here in the Great Northwest just keeps getting better and better.

Trevor, Chris R and I joined Dave S in the wee morning hours working registration.  Working the tables is a good way to put names to faces: I know a lot of faces and I know a lot of names, yesterday was a good chance to connect the dots.  Steve B and Jim W took over the afternoon shift.  A big thank you to all of the Cucina guys who stepped up and helped make the race happen.

The Cucina squad was in full force yesterday, and we had some smok’n results:

Peter S
Darren J

Darryl

Mike M – 18 laps

Jeff G – 1^st place

Dan L – 3^rd place

Dave S – 8^th place

Terrence S

Trevor H

Peter M

Jim W

Chris R – 4^th place

Erik O

Paul D

I’d like to make a special shout out to Chris R for taking fourth in a brutal Masters 1/2 race wherein only five guys managed to finish on the lead lap. 

The course was awesome with two significant run-ups and a bunch of fast single-track.  I hit hard on the first lap – it took me about ten minutes with a finger nail brush to get all of the dirt out of the wounds – and was basically just happy to finish.  The tent was a happening scene with Terrence doing dollar bill hand-ups, Mike recovering and getting ready for some more and Peter just quietly popp’n barleys.  Hanging out underneath the tent, staying dry and yelling at the racers makes for some serious cross fun.
