| Minuteman Cyclocross, Wrentham, MA. I started DFL, nursing a knee injury. Despite a mid-pack seeding (starts being so critical to 'cross), I elected to start off the back, not knowing how I'd ride and not wanting to cause a pileup in the event. I was in a lot of pain... on top of pain. Not sure if I'm coming or going here. I managed to forget the knee... until the first barriers. I took one step and landed fully on the thing. From there it was damage control. I almost didn't race Wrentham. It would have been easy not to. But the race had been described to me as "a party - there will be beer." It was bone-chillingly cold, but party we did. The beverages were indeed frosty. | |
