Raced my 4th ever cyclocross race. Didn't finish in the front of the pack, but each time there seems to be more people finishing behind me than before. Last week I think I was 6/7 women and had 3 people behind me in the C field, this week I was 6/9 women and had at least 10 people behind me. I also managed to navigate (on all 3 laps, even) a hairy s-curve downhill section that was taking out people far more experienced and skilled than I. This is the top of the hill, I think on the 2nd lap:
I totally friggin' love cyclocross and it's something I wish I had discovered in my 20s (instead of my late 30s). It's so friggin' painful and hard and awesome and fun. I'm bummed that our season only has 2 more races (though I think I will have to try snowcross, this Winter).
Can you see the love? This is what my friend Patti refers to as "BikeFace":
