Race Report by Brandon Andrews- 

November 3rd, 2013. It was a foggy morning and a bit chilly but a number of AMR members came out to race at Waterloo. The course was slick in the corners, had a wicked off camber section, a run up with tacky mud and lots of leaves to slide on. The run up as always was my goal to ride up every time, success. Maybe I should focus on the rest of the race instead of just the challenging sections. CX4 Mens was a fast start as always, I lined up a bit more to the front so not to battle my way through traffic the first lap. I was able to get myself into a good position for my riding capabilities. Going back in forth with a few riders near me. I really wanted to catch the guy in front of me, but that didn't happen. Instead I started to worry about the group of 4 riders working together to catch me. One rider almost came to me but I was able to hold my position and finished 23rd. Still not great, but I am improving. Goal is by the end of the season get a top 20ish. Mio Susuki had a great start to her CX4 Women's race and seemed to be rocking the 4th place position the first lap. However due to an issue she had to drop out of the race. It was great to see her out racing this week. For CX3 Women, both Laura and Kathleen started out strong working together or riding together for the first two laps. Laura then passed Kathleen and tried to chase down the next rider. I was really proud of her racing today. I kept giving Laura the time gaps between her and the next rider, it started out at a minute then went down to 15 seconds. I wasn't really sure she was going to catch the girl, but right before the finish I saw the girl that had been in front of her with Laura just behind her both sprinting as hard as they could. Laura was unable to catch her at the line, but it was a fantastic finish and a strong ride by Laura. Overall the group had fun and we enjoyed hanging out at the AMR tent. Lots of good times today. Looking forward to Camrock next week. -Race Report by Brandon Andrews.
