Well, last Sunday we had the honor of racing in the rain and mud in the Conyers Georgia Cyclocross make-up race. 40 degrees outside! Total nastiness!!
I have never raced in the mud before, so this would be total chaos! Anyway, first race in the Masters 35+, I decided to use this as a warm-up and get used to the course. Me and this ACC dude duked it out for the bottom half of the results, he won, oh well, fun stuff.
They had this warm bath house so I decided to get into fresh clothes for the B race.
We lined up and it was mad house getting to the woods. I slid everywhere. The course just got worse. On my second lap, I went head over into a creek face first! I was stuck! I finally pulled myself out and was covered in mud and freezing. The spectators suggested i quit and hit the showers, but I decided no way, I am finishing! I finished but not well.
Oh well, 2 more local races and I am off to Kansas City to "participate" in US Nationals! Should be a riot! Still working on my machine, will try to get some pics of it up here soon!
