Hello from Break Espresso, where I’m just about to leave for the last bike race of the year (unless I head to Oregon). Today marks the final race in the Montana State Cyclocross Race Series, right here in Missoula, Montana. The race is set to start at noon at the old fort.
I’m well-positioned to clinch the series win as long as I finish with a decent result. I’m aiming for the win, especially if a friend or two braves the chilly weather to watch me race. My form is excellent right now.
Last night, I practiced in Pattee Canyon and had my best workout to date. My mounting and dismounting were the most fluid I’ve ever experienced. Cyclocross is truly a beautiful sport.
As for my health, it’s a bit uncertain since I woke up with a headache this morning. I can’t seem to get my heart rate as high as it was during the mountain bike season. However, I’m speedy on the cyclocross bike, and that’s what counts.
Have a great weekend, everyone! If you’re near the old fort in Missoula, please stop by and watch me race. I’d love to see you there.
