An Unnamed Race in Newport

A blog post...only to keep updating my history in Newport.

After one of my slowest times last year (as expected, I was fat) I reluctantly returned to Newport for my 18th time...I only did this so Brightman would have someone to go out with after the race.

Anyway, I did a my 4th cyclocross race of the season on Saturday in Goddard Park.  It was definitely my worse performance of the year, I fell down, I cut my knee, I added to the multiple bruises on my knee....all good stuff!  I don't believe the effort on Saturday change how I would do on Sunday; my knee DID hurt, but only when running...so all good!  ;)

I planned ahead of time to go out conservative and see how the race played out.  I think I did that well for the first mile, then got going a little earlier than I would have liked, but was able to hold on to my pace and finish rather well.

After a couple years of complete shit on the running front, MAYBE!! just maybe this is the corner I need to turn to get rolling and have a solid 2020.
