The Dave Panella Memorial race took us back to Greene for another weekend of cross racing. This time at a park rather than a school. The whole course was out in the open in fields with a couple of parking lot crossings. Not a lot of elevation loss/gain this week. I found that made it more difficult for for me to keep up with those in front of me. After the main races, there was a fun relay with 2 person teams. Our team mates were randomly assigned and we were left to decide between us who would ride the first leg and who would do the seconds leg. I rode first leg. Each leg involved doing one lap of the course. I did my one lap and then had to down a cup of beer, jump rope 10 times, and then tag off to my partner. She then drank a beer, jumped rope, and rode a lap. There were only two jump ropes for the 10 or so teams to share so some folks opted to do push-ups instead. It really looked funny with folks in full on bike kit jumping rope and doing push-ups with empty beer cups around them on the grass and a few people on bikes. Pictures were posted all over Facebook.

Some video footage of the men's A race is on YouTube. I have also posted video from several other cross races as well, including Syracuse Grand Prix, and Red Cross.
