My first cx race as a 2 is in the books. It was great to see so many familiar faces again.
If you look closely at the start you can see me taking my usual last place at the start. I just didn't have the aggression needed for the hole shot yet and it hurt me right away on the first hill because there was only one line. It's possible that if I would have been more in the mix from the start I might have done a little better, but then again, it is my first race of 8 or 9 this year so I shouldn't be going all out quite yet.
The course was awesome--hilly, muddy, techy, and hard. It took place in a mock ol' West town/dude ranch.
I was trying out new lines almost every lap and never really put a great lap together. In the end, I had a ton of fun and finished about the same I did in my first race last year (about bottom quarter). So hopefully I can keep moving up in the finishes like I did last year too. The season is looking good!
As usual my beautiful and talented wife, Lauren, took a ton of pics. Check some out here from the 3's, 35+, and p,1,2's.
Great seeing you and Lauren Sat! Nice work out there.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Ron, it had been too long.
ReplyDeleteYou did very well yourself out there. Did you end up top ten?
