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.
