Wind, cold temperatures, sand and some water to splash around made for some tough cyclocross yesterday. The return to English Landing Park featured runups and sand sections that made the running a key component of the races. Here are photos from Bruce Edwards. More photos from Roger Harrison.

Full results now posted! Cameron Chambers and Jennifer Herrell bested the Elite fields. The metro area has a full season of 'cross left with this weekend's Kansas State Championship, USCF Nationals, Epic Holiday Cyclocross and The Grote Prijs Shawnee.
