Just a quick update on cyclocross.
Wow, what fun! I haven't raced in a long time and I forgot
how much I enjoy it. The people there were all friendly and
supportive. I really love communities like that.
I was slow, as to be expected, but no worries! I made it to
the finish line, which was my goal. My heart rate was above
95% on average and I had to really manage myself from
getting too deep into the red zone. Also, a new discovery
that my max HR was higher than I had estimated. New high
score! By the end, I was getting pretty lackadaisical with
my dismounts and remounts so I'll need to pay more attention
in that area. Also: get better. That way I'll be able to
enjoy the experience instead of just being along for the
ride.
Unfortunately I woke up that morning with the beginnings of
a cold, and the race did not help in that department. The
sore throat and coughing have mostly subsided so I'm really
hoping I'll recover before next weekend's race.
Aside from that, the bike handled well, and there was plenty
of grip with the tires. I might even be able to drop down a
little more pressure for even more grip.
My friend also raced for the first time, which makes me
happy. I don't think the experience scared him away so even
better!
The local rodeocross isn't happening this Wednesday so I'll
have to wait a week for that event. I also heard the
Halloween race is a ton of fun, so I'm looking forward to
that provided the weather cooperates.
Ok, time to get some sleep. I'll talk about other stuff next
time, hopefully phones and radios!
