Cross (Reality) Check

I have been riding cross several times per week, playing hooky from the office, training, and then coming back to the office to finish my work. The daylight changes next weekend, so it may be weekends only from this point forward.
Had a couple of awesome cross workouts in the past week. Last Saturday the "VQ" coaching group went out to Lake Evergreen, where we hit some really fast single tracks, followed by some awesome wide open trails, to do a 110% VO2 max effort. I was completely gassed after 10 laps of that. I bonked with about 3 laps to go, and the legs were on empty. This am, we did a pretty good cross workout at a park in Morton, consisting of some bike skills stuff like bumper bike etc.
I crashed coach Stan-O during the bump & grind session. Oh well. I then proceeded to crash myself into Mitchell, which was pretty cool as well. Cross is like Fight Club, just on bikes, that's all. Male aggression taken out on each other, on grass, just to get up and do it again!

The VQ group, including myself got a pretty good eye opener. Kettlebell has been around for ages, mainly in eastern block countries. This will be an awesome supplement to our winter/off season training. Hope I can make it through!
