SPHcx! Gran Prix race 1
The first race of the SPH Cross series is in the books. Marcus man pulled out a big win. The race started out fast and furious! (Yes, that is an intentional movie reference.) Job taking the holeshot and apparently owed some cash from Kuse the goose. Marcus and Jake quickly took the lead. Isaac and Larry easily surpassed Job after a lap. Marcus continued to pull away and put Jake in the pain cave. Job however went spelunking in the pain cave and came up vomiting. Isaac and Larry hammered on. Larry attempted to close the gap to Isaac but the captain was too strong and kept his gap to round out the podium. It was an exciting day of cross racing and it's just the beginning. We know next week Jake will come out swinging and perhaps we'll see some new faces.
SPHCross #1 recap
It started out a blustery day and the cooler (as in body temp) among the hardy SPH clan were in full arm warmer and leg covering mode. The sun was out though and warmed nicely throughout the warmups.
Marcus set the course and it was a doozy. One of the longer courses that we have done... Add in one more mini loop and it would be all official length. There was a stair run-up, a small sand pit, and a couple of steep little hills that mercifully were at least sort of rideable.
Job got the hole shot with Everyone close behind. Larry and Isaac quickly decided to tone it down to prevent utter body explosion. Job hung tough until the first trip up the double climb...after that it was really a two man fight for first. Jake hung on to Marcus's wheel for 3-4 laps but lost the wheel shortly thereafter. From then on the only battles left were for third and to see who would blow the most chunks.
In the end Isaac held on to third despite a tipped barrier (thanks to a bobble by Larry at the same obstacle) and Job won the barf battle by blowing twice.
Next week will bring a new course and hopefully some more good competition!
