STATE CROSS CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Iowa State X Champs were held last weekend in Altoona

There was a very good turnout considering the cold and windy conditions.
Some of the old guys lined up and ready to battle for gold, silver and bronze

Richard, John and Mark and Bananas in the back

Landon leading around the curves and hills
Landon ended up running away with the 55+ Cat
That's one Gold medal.

Mark Beatty on the finihing hill
Mark was racing in the 45+ Cat - and was just out of the money
Probably one of the deepest and most difficult Cats.

Brian West racing the Single Speed Category
Brian got third behind the two guys who also went on to win the 1, 2's Cat
Brain said those guys are just crazy fast.

Kathleen on the last big hill
Kat had the race of a season.
She got 2nd overall in the entire Women's Masters group

AND
she won the 45+ Cat
That's 2 gold medals for the Spokes
