Kristin's UW Race Report


Yes this weekend was wet...very wet...but, as they say, when everyone is suffering and miserable together, it makes for great stories and excellent bonding time! Here's some of my highlights:

  • Watching PSU whisper-light-man cook and eat beans (of all the things you could heat up on a whisper-light at a race, you choose beans?!). And then watching him get super angry at his chocolate milk being spilled everywhere...then he proceeds to spread the milk all over the wet ground while his teammates do nothing. And then he makes a quesadilla on his stove (now there’s a good reason for a whisper-light), but the cheese is too hard to cut so he just rips off half a block and puts it on the tortilla...
  • TENT CITY!!!! Where did such a huge tarp come from?!
  • Cheering on the Men’s Bs, As and Women’s As on their grueling climb (Whitney - "Who decided to put this hill here?!")
  • Seeing Mackinzie cross the line leagues ahead of the other Women’s A and with a huge grin across her face
  • TTT: Passing PSU girls with Rose and Becca, getting drenched, eating wet rocks/dirt, and not being able to see out of my fogged-up glasses
  • Riding through cramps in both my calves during the road race to catch up to Becca
  • Wondering why that PSU guy was sprinting with us at the end of the RR...only to find out that "he" is actually a girl...oops
  • Watching Luke and Rachel dance and sing to pump us up for the crit
  • Watching Jenna fight for a wheel and win it during the crit
  • Sprinting past our C pack in the crit
  • And of course, most importantly, eating tons of food!


Best sign ever

  1. I agree: cooking beans when he could have been making hot chocolate was a waste! Great report!
