Did a cyclo cross race yesterday in Columbus. Raced in the B Race which included the 45+ division among the 47 entries. I had to leave before the final results were posted. I finished about mid-pack in the race but don't know how I ended up in my division. BTW the overall race winner was 52 yrs old. The start was terrible for me. We had to do a "La Mans" start. They had us turn our bikes upside down resting on the handlebars and seat. We were lined up 75 yards behind the bikes and had to run to the bikes to begin the race. I can not run a step because of my bad ankle so my "hop-step sprint" must have looked silly in the foot race. I actually was ahead of about 1/3 of the riders at the first turn which surprised me. From there, I picked off around 12 riders over the first few laps of the 45 minute race and only got passed by a few.

Total miles- around 12. With the HR at near max, 45 minutes feels like forever.
