The weekend before last I lined up for my first 'cross race of the season. I opted for a double header and figured I would do the Masters race as a "warm up" followed by the 3/4 race later in the day. Initially, I figured I would sit in on the Masters race and just get a feel for the course. But that was not to happen. I got lucky and lined up first row. I got luckier at the start and grabbed the holeshot before the first turn. It didn't last of course, but I stayed in the mix to get 5th overall.
After an hour of rest, I lined up for the 3/4 race. I got second in the holeshot and ended up riding with a group of about 5 guys. A couple of guys slipped away, and I ended up with 5th again.
I was completely shot after the second race but happy with the performance. It reminded me of just how much I love the discipline which is psyclocross.
