The old guys races at Cross Nationals
This was the 5th time that Landon and John have gone to the big event.
And probably not the last

| All the information a person could want - right HERE |

| Landon lining up in the front row of the 60-64 year old cat. - a good place to be for the hole shot |
 |
| And they're off - the 65-69 old guys |

| Did the scenic background make the effort any easier? The off camber(side hill) sections did not make it any easier |

|
 | |
| It was very difficult navigating the course and made all the harder by the stacked fields with the best in the nation fighting it out |
 |
| The side hill - looking rather easy - it was not. |
 |
| It was hard all day in every way |
 |
| OK - the finish line was easy going. |
 | |
| Years past both John and Landon have been on the podium at X Nats, and this year there was some hope, but there are a lot of things that have to line up just right to make the top five in the country. TRAINING HEALTH INJURIES REST MECHANICALS ATTITUDE SUPPORT COURSE CONDITIONS WHO SHOWS UP - AGE WITHIN YOUR AGE GROUP .... didn't happen this year. Disappointed - yes, but not discouraged. |

| We sure do enjoy hanging - rubbing shoulders with greatness - out with Iowa's Pro, Amanda Miller |
THE BOTTOM LINE
It was a good time - racing, watching the races, and hanging out.
What do you think ?
Austin, Tx - 2015
These guys are going to be there - even if they are one year older in their age group.
