Suffer Faces

The Steilacoom course is synonymous with suffering, especially when it features a triple-barrier run up. #sufferfaces

Cold and Wet.

Sandpits look easy on TV and romantic in photos like this from @heidiswift, but they are not. Sand dunes are worse.

Koksijde must’ve been the most brutal CX course. Watching the stream I tweeted

Wouldn’t give up, cause you keep going till someone says stop, but #koksijde would result in a very emotional experience: crying whole time.

So hard in fact, that at the end in the sprint, Sven Nys put Pauwels in the barriers.

A triumphant, emotional, crying, covered-in mud #sufferface from gold-medalist Vos.

It was cold and wet that day.

Her face told the story.

Overwhelmed at the finish.

Jenny’s Sufferface hangs there just above the watermark in this photo and we’re wondering what’s she thinking?

Maybe, “why do I do this?” Or, what gearing am I running?! Is it a 17 or 18?

Heard it was the last lap at CrossVegas.

Wanted it to end.

The ankle bone is connected to a #sufferface.

Grass clogged left cleat, couldn’t get out fast enough at barriers, right foot rolled underneath me. Finished the race pedaling with one leg.
