Cyclocross season is here!

Monday's race was the kick-off for cross season here in the NW. It was a new venue for me and I was relieved to see that the course had a little singletrack, which tends to be one of my strong suits. My plan was to take it easy- start in the back, keep an easy pace and just get back into the swing of things. Well, that plan went to hell- I was lined up against the fence (heading into a right-hand turn) so I sped to the front to avoid getting shut out. The rest of the race was brutal- my lungs are just not 100% yet. BUT- I still managed to take 2nd out of 17! Here I am busting my butt across the finish line...
