Somehow I convinced Lucia, as well as our friends from KruisCX Diane and Elizabeth, to join me at Hydra Cross—a one-day race in Massachusetts three hours away. We had a nice overnight on Saturday and were able to spend all day Sunday the best way I know how: hanging out in a field with a bunch of friends. Even though I see the people I went to the race with frequently, even during Covid, somehow laying on a blanket with them on the grass just made me feel a special kind of nice. Despite the rain.

TBD is headed up to Hydra Cross in Holyoke, Mass this weekend for the first test of our legs this season. If you’re coming, here’s what the situation is looking like.
