Cross is a heart breaker.. I've been coming into form and could feel it yesterday doing can-openers to get ready for today's Cross Crusade. I just felt fast yesterday. Today was the Portland International Raceway race. This is the same course as the USGP the past 2 years. It doesn't really suit me since it is super muddy and not open or hard enough for true fitness to shine. But..I was feeling fast
The start was crucial as we went from road to dirt rapidly. I got a great start and was 4th wheel and the race was on. We hit the mud and I lost a few spots but held on and continued to feel "fast".. but then I went down in a slick corner and my brake started to rub. Shit! I was way to far from the pit to grab a quick change and I couldn't get it to start..1,2,3...10+ riders kept coming by. Finally made it to the pits but my race was over at that point and I just made it a good workout.
Oh well..there is always another race. Cross Crusades have been my Achilles heel this year. I can't seem to put one together.. and unforutanely today was the last one of the season.
