First cross race for me too last night.
I was the idiot shouting "does anyone have a 10mm spanner?!" at the start line after my front brake fell apart during the warm up. C*ntilevers.
Was great having the novice category to ride in, but next week I think I'll have to up my game and join the big boys.
Very different to road racing, in that I was constantly having little battles with one other person where we'd take and re-take each other continuously for a lap or so. Also managed to eat and drink as I went round which may just have saved my life.
Average HR for the race: 197. That's some workout. Went to bed feeling sick and shaky!
