    Ugh. That was tough. Almost got taken out of it exiting the gravel section into the second corner. Someone lost balance and knocked into me. Stayed up thankfully. Good race, fast, safe, tough.

    That was brilliant craic. I'm still grinning. Started at the back in the B Race. Stayed there. Watched in awe as guys with big guns made short work of the course.

    Punctured after 3 laps. Someone must have heard my prayers :-) Many thanks to the organisers.

    First cross race I wasn't lapped, still in shock that had to ride the full distance.
    Muscled out of the last corner after the boards by an unmitigated thug who obviously didn't deserve to finish ahead of me....

    Was fun. Must have been on Raams wheel when that lad cut across the group, interesting moment. Also got tangled on the first set of boards, wrecked my shorts! Then, my flu, which I haven't shaken, decided to prevent me from breathing from lap four on. And my left shifter slipped around and gap skinned the spot between my thumb and index finger

    Despite this, it was actually great fun!

    My first CX race, and any race for that matter. Savage fun!

    Except I've punctured on lap 2 of the B race, too far from the start to do anything about it. So I've signed into the A race and didn't finish the last!

    Super tough too.

    What is the story with the results - I can see myself on pos. 33 of the B race, but I haven't even finished the 2nd lap?

    Note to organizers: one portaloo for 200+ people is definitely not enough...

    Few mistakes, there was a rider in front of me in results who was a lap down and DNF afaik. Great intro to the series.

    Well they did say it was provisional results. I was ahead in the prizes, just not online. Really enjoyed it, tougher than it looked.

    That is true!

    Those steps... the first two times I bounced up them nicely, the last few laps... ugh, it was a struggle.

    For the last few laps I had a cramp-like feeling in my calves when going up them... Every time I thought the race is over... or maybe hoped... No cramps saved me though.

    Try being more vertically challenged, don't know how the wee guy on the mountain bike managed those.

    9th in the Bs for me. I thought I was directly behind an IMBRC rider but maybe he passed someone else near the finish.
