I had some lofty goals for racing CX this year. My plan was thwarted by the IPA. I am hoping to do a couple races this year in the rookie class again, as I can't imagine 45 minutes of torture that the B class requires. Thirty minutes is my threshold at the moment and that's what the rookie class races. Even though it feels like I'm going to die, I know it will be fun. It's such a weird thing, cx.
My "training:" I'm riding the high drive trails most mornings. I make a point of taking the descents all the way to the bottom, so that I'm forced to climb back up. I need to spend some time practicing obstacles too.
