Cam-Rock CX (Brazen Dropouts CX)

Today was the Cyclocross race @ Cam-Rock Park 2 in Rockdale, WI. The morning started a little bit chipper with temps in the mid 40s but warmed up nicely. I was not the first race of the day again which was nice. First was the Cat 4 40+ and 15-18 Juniors. I raced Cat 4s as always, today it was @ 10:30. I got stuck at the back, which sucked. I would later find out todays field was 56. On the start Some dude missed his pedal or something and biffed on the start. Making a huge pile of people behind. This gapped the field a little bit, good for racing bad for me. I felt like I was passing people all race. After the first lap that was the case, doing nothing but passing people. The longer the race went on the fewer people I passed. On Rider caught me on the last lap that I had passed Earlier in the race on the first lap. I pushed really really hard. Once again my HRM monitor failed, IDK what is up with that. I know I was averaging in the 160 and 170 and maybe ever some 180s during the race. I could tell on lap 4 I was starting to give up the gusto. The aerobic capacity was spent. I had give it all she had. However on the finish I blew the doors off a guy I thought was a lap down turns out he wasn't. So learn from me kids, never ever give up no matter what lap and how much you feel like crap. Every position counts.
