Psycho Cross

I raced Sunday in Eugene. I have delayed writing about it because it was fairly unremarkable. We had been in Portland since Wednesday and left early Sunday morning so I could race. I've raced at this location before and have enjoyed it. The course was slightly different from last year. There was a long section around the agricultural fields. Some of that section was muddy but it was sticky mud. Kind of slippery but it only got on the tires. There was some single track, a stair runup, a steep downhill switchback, a steep rideable uphill, and some barriers. I was outclassed by everyone in my race but one junior so I was not very motivated. I didn't dog it but I didn't push it either. As I said, unremarkable. I stayed upright and I finished. It's probably my last OBRA race for the year. I'm not going to Portland for the USGP race and I probably won't go back to Eugene in two weeks. I'm going to race in Humboldt County this Saturday and maybe the next weekend too. I've raced 32 times so far this year with no races in January or July. That's almost every weekend.
