So I got out for a CX race yesterday and is was muddy! So I started the morning out thinking I wasn't gonna make it. The Night before my stomach was a little upset, when the alarm went off in the morning I was still a little under the weather but not bad. I figured if I could Get my daugheter out the door I'm good to go. So Car packed and off we go. Gotta hand it to her she's a trooper once you get her going.
Looked like it was gonna be a good day one quick trip around the course and the Legs were feeling a bit hollow. I'm here lets race. So lined up and off we go! first set of barriers and I'm in 6th Position this looks good. just after the barrier and my chain Brakes! DAMN! then something cool happens a CX racer warming up for his race shouts out, What Peddles! I shout back Crank Brothers! He's all "Use my bike!" So I run over with my bike about 20 Meters up the course and he hands me his real Nice LaPierre adn off I go, He shouts he'll try to get my chain on.
So about 2 laps later there he is with my bike ready to go......too Bad I was really liking his bike. At first I thought man he's tall but after a bit I was real comfortable with it. Big debt of gratitude to John! floks that's the brotherhood of Cyclocross. We're all out there to Race but more so to have a good time.
So wish I could say I made a heroic effort and Caught on and placed but I did catch a few on the way. Most important my daughter and I had a great day her watching me race and cheering, and use cheering out our friends and others.....good times and good friends.
I plan on making a few other races before the season is over, I better hurry!
