The last race at Montrose marks the end of my cyclocross season. 7 races in total which all in all isn’t so bad. Performance-wise this has been an extremely frustrating year since I feel like I did exactly as well as I did last year with no improvements whatsover. In theory I should be proud of the fact that I did as well as I did after spending 2 - 3 months essentially immobile. Afterall it took a lot of practice of my off-road handling skills, and dismount/remount technique to make up for my lack of fitness.
In the end I should be looking forward to next season when I will hopefully be able to increase my fitness & still maintain (or even improve on) what skills I have. And while there are no longer any USCF/ABD races for quite awhile I would still check back every once in awhile since I have a couple cool surprises in the works.
Hint: one of them will ensure I have plenty of base miles for next year.
