The 2.1 mile course, meeting UCI specifications, included plenty of tight turns, sharp climbs, mud, sand and the standard assortment of barriers and obstacles. Weather for the races was unseasonably mild with temperatures in the 30s and 40s and no snow.
Lisa Hudson kicked things off for the Feedback team with a seventh place finish in the Masters 35-39 race on Friday the 6th. She went on to follow that up by finishing in 38th place (out of 80) in the Elite Women's race on Sunday January 8th. Whew, nice work! Lisa (below) navigates a tight turn along with the Women's Elite field.
Three Feedback racers competed in the Masters Men's National Championship races on Saturday the 7th; Greg Gorrell, Doug Hudson and Chris Case. Greg finished in 28th place in the Masters 45-49 field and Doug finished in 43rd place in the 40-44 field of 81 racers.
Chris Case had a super race to finish 2nd in the 63 racer 35-39 field!!! Here is a video clip of the Nationals 35-39 race and you can see Chris sitting in 4th place, early in the race. He continued to work his way closer to the leader as the race went on, and finished only 9 seconds out of first. Congratulations! Chris (below) powering through the mud.
Feedback Sports racer Tim Allen competed in arguably the most competitive Elite Men's Cyclocross race in North America all year and finished in 38th place.
With all of the mud on the course, pit support was integral to each racer's success. Pictured below, Sammy Rutherford and Greg Gorrell work the pits.
All in all, it was a fun and successful road trip to Wisconsin for the Feedback Sports team:
