At the CCCX XC opener I felt really good early in the race. The pedaling felt easy and I was relaxed. Then a rider crashed in front of me, taking me over the bars with him! After that I lost power and just suffered the rest of the race. That's racing! There will be good, there will be bad, and sometimes it is all mixed together.
I was lucky to not get hurt in my crash. Then I just did the best I could to suffer on.... and make it to the finish. It was a long day in the saddle and the bad weather turned a good course into a real test of strength and technical ability.
I can be so much better, and I will learn from this experience. This difficult finish will only make me better.
