CX 06 #1: Lake Rebecca
C race, 14/35, 13th C1
First race of the year, and off to a solid mid-pack start. Mid 50s and it started raining mid-race, perfect day for cyclocross. Good race for me, faster than last year, no crashes despite the increasingly we leaves and ruts that broke a rib for one of the later racers. Our german student Malte came back from a thrown chain on lap 1 (when he was 3 places ahead of me) to finish right behind me. I mean like a foot behind me. I sprinted down the final gravel road stretch, with Malte drafting me the whole way. I was afraid he would pass me up at the line, but he didn’t, maybe tired, maybe just being nice :-)
Autumn made an awesome movie of the race, see it here:
