The much anticipated Jeff Cup... Blogs had been buzzing for weeks about it, puffing of chests and stroking of egos prominent despite it only being the first big race of the season. I have to admit I was excited too. It was my first trip to this particular race (a bad Jiffy Lube incident and work preventing me from attending past years) and the beginning of my first full season with my camera. Clouds kept rolling overhead making it hard to avoid the "fuzziness" that I hate so much but the temperature and the occasional rays of sunlight had me amped for the start of spring. It'll be interesting for people to try and find what's going on where with the races being intermixed as opposed to when it's a separated crit. It's also rare to see the chaos of a feed zone. There seemed to be a lot of confusion as to when it was actually supposed to happen. Some riders were almost in a panic when told to wait another lap when others got an illegal feed with no repercussions. I must apologize for all the dog shots. I didn't realize until after the upload that I seemed to be a little obsessed with three pups in particular. Maybe I was just appreciating the good behavior my dogs obviously could not pull off.
