First cyclocross race of the season. I'm going to start racing B's, because, though the race hurt, I didn't feel too bad afterwards, so I need to race for a longer period of time. My bike dismounts are good and my remounts are getting better. On the start of the third lap I was in second place with the leader about 40 seconds out. On the fourth and fifth laps I faded to 6th place. Racecourse was dead flat with barriers in two locations.

Battling early in the race.

About half way through the race after pulling away from other racers in a fast flat section.

Finishing. Note the tired fallen shoulders...
