Saturday's crash is catching up to me. More lurid bruises blossom every day on my right leg and every pedal stroke hurts. Its making me feel pitiful and I hate that. I prefer feeling tough. I'm glad tomorrow is a rest day.
Tamara, hope you feel better for the next few CX races. I wiped out in the mud on Monday night at Montrose. Unlike, the pavement, I got up and was like..."Wow, that was fun!" Sure, you can still get hurt on the dirt, but it SHOULDN'T hurt as much.
When I started bike racing in 2006, I got dropped from every race [and team ride] for months. But I persevered and have steadily improved — I'm now a cat 3 (!) and expecting to get my butt kicked by the tough 1,2,3 field.

Thanks, Allen! I'm looking forward to more cross. Of course, road racing is my first love.
