If you only knew the pain that some of us ride in and the permanent lines that mark our face from hours spent grimmacing. <BR/><BR/>I find I make mistakes if I am not at a full on adrenlin induced effort.

The reason? ... cuz mistakes happen when you deprive the braincells too much of the O2. and mistakes in cross hurt.<BR/><BR/>i try and build my tolerance level up nice and slow ... each race doing just a bit more pain and redness to the eyes ... but, this year I've just got to dive right in.

Cost me five minutes on the start lap of the master's race so I waited for the leaders to see the fast lines and learn to ride faster from the experienced crossers. I saved plenty for the elite race and made adjustments to my thrashed drivetrain. Thought i was ready, but when I stood to accelerate hard (sloppy technique I am sure) after the barriers my gear jumped and sent me over the bars!!! That was a first for me and i never want to do it again. i am glad that I did not take any innocents out. To bad you were in front of me.... :) Hopefully my leg shoulder will feel better by this weekend and I will have a new drivetrain. Excellent ride by you though.
