I'll keep this short and with lots of pictures (all courtesy of David Kindstorm). This course was
super flat and definitely a good day to work on tactics, something I was looking forward to. Unfortunately, a crash about 600m into the race turned this into a training day for me. I tangled with another racer and there I was flying through the air and staring at the ground. After using my helmet as a shovel I just curled up and waited for the carnage to end. At some point someone ran over my left arm and I definitely have tire marks all the way up my right side, up my neck and on my ear. Whoever managed to pull that one off, I'm impressed. Truly, I am. After crawling out from under my bike I decided today would be a great day to take a spin. This was a really fun course and would have given me a chance to work on tactics and sand sections but it wasn't to be. Instead, I just worked on the sand sections.
Oh well, it's bike racing and crap happens. Apart from some soreness I'm fine and I hope everyone else involved is too. Tomorrow is another day and let's hope it goes a little better.
Also, a major thanks to whoever raked the sand section each lap. You saved me from embarrassing myself once a lap.
