Yesterday DH and I explored some muddy seasonal roads on our CX bikes for about 21 miles, then today I took part in my 3rd ever CX race...I still need to work on my mounts and dismounts. I wasn't DFL, but there were only 3 people behind me in the C race. I'd love to have at least a half-dozen back there.

A friend shot a killer photo of me on his iPhone--I think this was only after the first lap or two, as I don't see much mud splatter on my legs:


I felt pretty good. Yesterday my legs felt like crap, since I hadn't been on my bike in a week (returned from Death Valley JDRF ride and a few days in Vegas late Tues, then the weather was garbage for a few days). Glad that yesterday's ride woke them up for today.
