Epic Cross

Very flat course.

A friend sent me a link to their garmin 500/powertap data.

Its always interesting to see power from a cx race. Its always way higher than you expect, especially if you train on the road alot. Riding on grass/dirt sucks more power out of your wheels and it makes you work harder. I've seen lots of racers come into the road season twice as fast just from racing a season of cross. I try to make everyone race cross, it makes you handle your bike better and teaches you to pedal correctly.




I did ok in the race. I won the ss race and started the open race good, then I crashed a few times and fought my back to 4th. The ground unthawed a lot between the ss race and the open race. The slick corners caught me off guard.
