TSB: 7
guestimated numbers due to no data yesterday
I was so sore and stiff from Saturday's crash I would not have raced on Sunday had I not already preregistered. On the other hand some days you feel like crud but have an amazing day on the bike so who knows what's going to happen.
The course was changed up on Sunday, a little more running and technical with the short hill having a shorter, downhill off camber entry today and the short, steep ride/run up leading into it. Didn't feel better after a couple of laps scouting the course but it looked like fun and I was already here.
No call up today but managed to get in pretty much the same position on the start line. Justin from Godspeed crashed really hard on the little hill and was sprawled across the bottom - kind of disconcerting to say the least. Briefly considered stopping to check him out but then he moved his legs and said something so I kept going. Lost contact with the lead riders at that point, but would have happened anyways without the accident.
I did remember the video camera and it worked for the first half of the race:
First half of 2009 Surf City #3 Watsonville Cyclocross C race November 1 from Steven Woo on Vimeo.
The second half of the race I faded back, just unable to keep up the pace.
Thought I went hard the whole time, but it just felt really hard to me, or maybe the unmeasured part that was running was a lot harder on me than the cycling part, because I can do the Pnorm below for all day, not just 40 minutes.

Thanks for posting the video of this one... I admit I was looking for my cameos in it! You almost caught my crash, though you definitely see the aftermath. It took me a few minutes to catch up after collecting myself...
Wish I could have seen the crash itself, it would be educational on what NOT to do on a dismount.
I need to educate myself to turn as fast as you!
