Efficiency

First things first:
DCCX was rockin'. Props to the DCMTB crew!

Now:
I don't know why I think drinking beer after a 'cross race is a good thing. DCCX was great, but they should have cut me off after my first beer. I didn't get drunk per se. Having only 4 small beers wouldn't have done me in, but after a race that shit might as well be poison. Dehydration and fatigue undoubtedly play a huge role in the intense buzz I get after a few sips of a delicious beer. I know I shouldn't, but the compulsion to look as cool as possible overwhelms my survival/sobriety instincts. So after the race, not only was I exhausted from my race, I pretty much had a race+beer induced hangover without ever getting drunk. How's that for efficiency?

Also:
If we can put on a grassroots 'cross race in the district, why not bring back the U Street Crit or some other race like it for the road racing season?
