It was a great learning experience and I definitely took away a couple battle scars. I now know that I need to train differently before the next race. If you have any training suggestions, I would love to hear them. I can't wait to get back in there (and not get my butt kicked, I hope)!
Sounds just like CX !! It's pretty much go hard from the gun until the final line. WONDERFUL sport and a blast.

See post for a CX-specific camp that will be next September. Super way to combine vacation and CX skills and training.

There are some pretty sweet CX-specific workouts. Though as in much of cycling, threshold work prior to race season, with in it and then some neuromuscular work and sharpening as you get into the season.
