And I got to use my favorite new lens to document some of that up nice and close.
West Point had this dreamy lake and I was imagining summer days jumping off the doc. Lets go back in mid-July, alright?
This bridge was part of the race course. How lucky!
This racer was part of the race too. And also he has some nice legs! Go Paul.
So proud of this guy.
(our photographer reminded him to be excited because...)
FIRST PLACE! PAUL FRANDSEN #1!
I'm so glad I captured this triumphant return with the Gold Medal of Glory!
Gold medal photoshoot by the lake.
Just pretend he's on a podium since West Point didn't provide one...
And look how much this Odonata loved the Entomologist.
The next weekend was cold and miserable for Beacon Cross (in South Jersey) and HPCX (Rutgers' "home" cyclocross race).
I sat in the car until the absolute last minute...
Actually so did Paul. hahah
It was rainy and muddy and blurry.
Gravel face slash so tired.
But I had to have a post race picture with the man. Doesn't he look like John Wayne or some old-fashioned hero tough man?
The truth is he was showing several signs of hypothermia so I decided to stop taking pictures and let him warm up!
The drive home from Beacon was scary Turnpike snowy bad drivers etc.
And we arrived in our parking lot to mucho snow. I texted my family and said "New Jersey is pretending to be Utah right now." You see, last year - the first snow fall here was Dec 24.
But we had to rise and shine the next morning for more racing and lots of snow.
Good thing Paul is from Idaho and he did terrific in the snow.
Terrific as in first place for a lap or so which is hard and a big huge deal especially when you are being a snowplow for the 70 people trying to catch you.
Way to go IDAHO!
The snow quickly turned to mud...
But I loved the snow for great lighting!
yeahhhh cyclocross...
