2009 CX Nationals, Day 1 Results... WOW!

Of course, it's the infamous curse....  The snow and ice curse.  Oh well, let's get to racing!

Men 20-29 "B" race.  Connor Cartland.  Sitting in 3rd place late in the race when a crash K-O'd his bike.  Tough break!  So close...

Men's 30-39 "B" race.  100-ish starters, random call up.  Shadd Smith, 2nd to last row (11th row) to 1st place! Congrats to Shadd Smith!

Men 40+ "B" race.  167 starters, random call up.  Tom Price, last row call up to 3rd place!  Congratulations to Tom!

Dean Parker was also sitting in position for a top 20 in the 55-59 National Championship race when a crash K-O'd his bike.  Oh MAN!  Dean ran 1/3 of a lap, changed bikes and rode from 45th back up to 29th in the snow and ice.  Fantastic ride for Dean, even with the unfortunate luck.
