Cat 3 Start - All Age Groups

October 5, 2008 - I headed to the Chain Breaker in Lubbock, TX.  This was my second race and I fared fairly well.  The course was mostly four wheeler trails, it was easy to pass on the majority of the 6 mile loop.  I began in second place and moved to fourth within the first three miles.  Once we hit the single track and the technical sections of the course, the time in the Canyon paid off.  Lupe was in third and I was in fourth, the two we were chasing slowed in the first technical section and Lupe took second.  In the second technical section I moved into third and Lupe moved to first place.  It was raining and a bit muddy, the rocks were slick and I had to Hike-a-Bike in a few spots.

Finish Line

Other than that it was well worth the 5am wake up to get there on time.  The South Texas chapter of the No Knuckle Crew will be in Bryan, TX this weekend.  Final results for the Chain Breaker are as follows:

Lupe - 1st Place - Cat 3 - 30-39
Ethan - 3rd Place - Cat 3 - 30-39
