+1 - It was STICKY. One of the slowest energy draining courses I have ridden cross on. I started to ride in the grass out of the race line because it was faster in most sections.

If you don't want to puke on a cross bike then you're not doing it right.

What group did you race in BTW - and next time say hey....
