Holy Hell.
So I got the race results back for the Boulder Series #2 CX race out at Interlocken East.
46th.
Out of 77.
HOLY FUCK.
I did a lot better than I thought! Not spectacular but this is at least, in some small part, some kind of motivation.

I look like my family has just been murdered.
If you want to see what the race was like from a cockpit cam:
Here's a full multilap sequence. This is from the SM35+ heat, which is easily one of the most competitive and was much much earlier on in the day. This is the track in as pristine a condition as you could ask for, having only had 1.5 hrs between open to this race. I was racing almost 5 hours after this guy and the course had been altered significantly in some of the turns and the significantly windy bits. They also didn't have to deal with the tangent hill ride portion in SM35+. Assholes.
Miraculously, I didn't wipe out at all.
This dude's blog has some other videos that show the course about an hour afterwards. You can already see the difference.
