Cycle cross race aka hurt fest!

Today was my cycle cross race of the season. For those who don't know what it is, it's a fall cycling sport, using a road bike with knobbier tires. Race directors creates a course in parks, usually a couple km loop with sand trap, barrier tight corners, sharp hill, you get the idea. I have been bumped to master cat 1/2 this year. I'm treating this race as a tune up for the worlds, I'm definitely not in cross shape. I finished second to last, it is what it is but I'm sure it will pay off for Maui. My brain surely doesn't learn, I will be cycle racing next Sunday at Vanier park, I must be a glutton for punishment. Happy trails!

Carpe Diem
