one last muddy race

The last local cx race took place this past Sunday, and it was a tough, fast and very cold one. I barely made it to the race on time, registered in record time and lined up at the end of the field with, literally, 1min to go, while race officials radio'd in to make sure I was legit. It was full-gas from the get go, with almost no places to recover. I only slid out once, on a corner I took too aggresively, which lost me a whole bunch of places. It was cool to see everyone throwing down hard for this last race, and then enjoying the cammaraderie at the finish line, swapping war stories. I had a lot of fun racing cx and will definitely be back next fall for more. There is something freaky cool about being borderline out-of-control while going as fast as possible. I hope to be able to learn some skills btwn now and next fall so I can race faster, or at least, fall less.
