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....
Yeah, I did the same thing. it made a huge difference.
Man, I really like this cyclocross thing...next time I'm like going to make an effort at the start rather than just following people. What was most interesting was the warmup I took--I was waaaaaay more sketchy then than doing the same turns at twice the speed. I really love my adrenal gland.
I finished 9th in the b's. Almost 10th, a guy from DogFish and I were trading spots on the last lap then in teh mud he slid out just ahead of me and I was able to continue for 9th--he finished 10th. I think he would have held me off.
I also grabbed my frist dollar hand-up/prime...what are they called? It was off the zipper of some guy...sine we became intimate I feel like I should have at least gotten his name.
Didn't see any bacon though...
