If you want to race cross well out of the gate.
August was busy and because of it, I did not get to ride much and did not race at all. I got back into only to get sick and be off the bike for 3 days last week. Then I raced cross today. I had fun, if your definition of fun is coughing up multicolored balls of stuff from you lungs for 45 minutes. I am not even sure those are from the sickness.
Pain, suffering, comedy and ineptitude were the words of the day. I completed a somersault while trying to mount on a down hill like the guy in front of me. Amicas rider, you are more talented than I, by far. The inability to tighten my rear skewer and had to stop to reseat the rear wheel. Hehe, there is some stupidity for you.
All in all it was fun and I guess I did alright. 22nd out of 40. Good place to start, but there is work to be done.
