Fun watching KC pull away early and dominate. I've been a fan of her since soon after the 2004 Nats in Portland where I watched her win. When I learned she did it starting from mid-field because she had no UCI points, to maintain amateur status as para tandem pilot, I became a fan. Next year, she did it again in Portland again, again starting from mid-field.
Now she starts front-row but US women's CX has grown a lot since 2004. And she has to race women with both skills and speed more than a decade younger.
Now for the men's race. (Live video coverage on CyclingNews is quite good.)
