It was rainy all day, but the clouds were just high enough to see the mountains. It was a great time, and I was happy to be in my boat, hanging out with great company. A great finish to a less-than-great summer of adventure.

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. 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.

As I sat at home last night feeling battered, bruised and exhausted from this year’s Mountain Orienteering event, I started thinking that this little-known event can hold its own when compared to some of the most infamous mountain running races in Alaska. More than anything, I was just trying to justify the fact that the event had left me completely wasted.
