This Fall absolutely flew by! Between my hardest school quarter yet, work, and cross racing on the weekends, I've been busy. It's been a good kind of busy though. I had one of my best and most fun cross seasons yet. My
Second Ascent teammate Benji Perrin continued to up his game this year and had a great showing at the races and placed 4th overall in the
Seattle CX Series. My former and future teammate Toby Swanson also had a great comeback season for 2nd overall in the SCX Series. I'm super pumped to have him on the team next year. Between the three of us, we are sure to be a top cyclocross squad for next year's local races and maybe more.

Below are some nerdy illustrations from my Fourier Series/Partial Differential Equations class that I think are really neat. A vibrating string or membrane's motion depends on position and time (a partial differential equation, or PDE for short). To find a solution to the PDE we use the given boundary conditions and initial conditions. I get kind of excited anytime math has interesting physical meaning.

That's all for now. I should have some news about my mountain bike situation for next year in the near future.
