On Saturday I did my first cyclocross race since buying my bike this June. My bike held up for the race, even though I picked up a pound of mud along the way. Thankfully I didn't go down--it rained the entire race and the course was almost constantly climbing and descending. I got close to losing my back wheel once, but put my foot down and saved a fall.
It was a fun event. Over 40 people raced, got really wet and muddy, and will be back next Saturday for Race #2.

Early in the race, coming off the longest descent; I eventually passed the guy in front of me, but he got by me on the second to last lap
Tongue flapping and gasping for more air.
Turning the corner and heading for the woods again.
