Brad and I raced today in Langemark
(I) Raced Masters B (40-49)
Was not too bad.
Great start but really-really deep/thick mud.
Went from 3rd to 6th on first lap.
Held that for 2 laps then 'ate shit' right after the start on a road to the dirt turn.

Got passed by 6th then started to get passed by the 50+ age groupers (4 of them).....did not feel great about that!

SO I finished 7th and won 6E for my efforts. Race was won by the Masters World champ and current Belgium champ; Mario Lammens.

Brad finished 29th in Masters A and as the official said, "No Prize money for 29th!"......duh!

Wendy (Simms) races tomorrow at the World Cup in (Liévin ) France.....VERY hilly course.
