It's almost here. The U.S. Grand Prix of Cyclocross.Since I moved up a CAT this year, I am trying to get my brain wrapped around racing with 100 plus other cross racers is going to be interesting. Maybe I should get some advice from those that raced in the "B" field last year?
Two weeks prior will be a good test in Cincinnati with a double bill of UCI racing. I love those courses. I haven't raced at Harbin Park for a few years. Last year I was not able to race, since I had some serious calf/muscle issues that are not present this year, due to all my running early in the season.
This weekend is my second cross race of the season.
I will be stepping up the aggression a bit and throwing down with the new Ridley.
just have fun. it's ridiculous how many racers there are. The start is absolutely insane. the fast guys are as fast as most A races so don't even think about it. Just smile, push yourself and be safe. No sense racing dumb and not finishing.
