not the smartest by a long shot

a VERY long shot.

me
a
big
dumb
moron

why?
Because I tried racing cyclocross with a pulled groin. But I didn't just race one race. I raced one race, made the groin 10x worse, and then raced the second race because I was already signed up and I'm stubborn and had driven 2.5 hours up there (half an hour in traffic because they were repaving 93 at the 101 split and had the road closed to one lane ON NASCAR WEEKEND - so maybe i'm not the dumbest by a long shot either).

I got beat by pretty much everyone. I tried to race and sort of did okay.  Except that barrier stuff. Nick put them in a nice high speed area.  Normally my bread and butter.  Tom's got a sweet clip of me FLYING through the VT ones at Catamount.  Also the nice little run up, yeah. Same thing.  With a groin, getting off the bike is fine, getting back on, also fine.  Running over barriers at 20mph? Not so much. Hell I had to slow down to a walking pace to make it over the barriers that's how much pain and motion reduction it was causing.  I'm a big baby sure, but man that hurt something fierce.

So now it is a race to get it better for Gloucester.  Oh, and I may have to help coach soccer again TOMORROW?! lets see if i can keep my feet under me and my adductor and sartorius happy.

But hey, I got two top tens racing two races in one day, injured, after a week of not riding AT ALL.

Gotta take some positive perspective away from that.  no?

i got broken shit to fix.
real report later.
maybe
