First and last cyclocross race of 2009

We’re about to leave for a month-long trip back east, which means Saturday’s cyclocross race was the only one for me this year.  Too bad because this race was not up my alley.  A very wet and super-slick course, combined with lots of tight turns, put bike-handling at a premium.  I prefer lung-busting courses.  After I crashed twice, hit one tree, and skidded out on numerous corners, I decided that not getting hurt was more important than doing well.  So I backed off the throttle and just tried to survive.  In that respect, the race was a success.  But the white-knuckle experience made me a little less sad that I will miss the rest of the series.
