First cyclocross race today. Didn't expect to win or place and was happy with my mid-pack position about halfway through the race. However, I knocked my saddle a little loose while mounting the bike during the first lap, and managed to knock it clean off mounting again near the end of the second lap. Didn't have a multi-tool on me and only a four lap race, so too a did not finish in my first race. ![arizona](/images/graemlins/default/facepalm.gif)
This was just a tune-up/practice race for me. The series of races I'm interested really performing well in starts 10/6 so 1) more practice mounting the bike on the run, 2) check my saddle and seatpost tightness before I start the race, and 3) toss a multi-tool in my jersey so I can pit, repair and get back on course next time I have a mechanical.

What race do you have?
Went out for a 3 mile run last night to get back in the flow, finished at 22.10. Felt pretty good afterwards. Left calf seems ok.

Portland, ME half marathon on Sunday, then a local 5 miler in mid-october, then another half in New Hampshire on Nov. 14th, then a 5k turkey tune-up the Sunday before t-day, then a 2.8mile run on t-day morning.
I just gotta find some December and January races to round out the year...

5 mile run with the wife last night. I do not run as well after work as I do in the morning. When I was losing weight hardcore at the beginning of the year, I was up by 5:30 every morning to ride my bike on the trainer or run. I've gotten out of that habit and really need to get myself back into it.
me too. before i moved in with my fiancee, i was usually up and out of the house around 3.30-4.30am out running 5+ miles
now that i moved in w her...that shit stopped
already logged in 10miles this week with another 15(hopefully) to go before sunday

I got dressed to run, opened the door about 6 am, got a chill and said "fuck no." Probably would have been fine, but just seemed colder than I was mentally prepared for. I guess I'll run after work.
I better get used to it because its just going to get worse.

what's more efficient, running on a treadmill or running in the park? I don't feel like running on a treadmill does anything for me at all.
I thought about running in the park, but my excuse is that I work 8-5.... so I won't be able to run until like 6:00 pm and I have to sleep around 10pm. So my excuse is that I can't work out at night because then I will be too "pumped up" to fall asleep. Do you guys that run a lot actually work f/t?
I always see people running in the park here and when I see them I think to myself that they must not have f/t jobs... Cause how can you work 8 hours a day, commute home and then still have energy and time to run? and then eat dinner? There's just no time.

Hopefully Sunday is better.

Cyclocross race this morning. Two weeks ago I was disappointed that I had a mechanical take me out of the race early. Today, near the end, I was praying for a mechanical - my legs were toast.
45 minutes of drilling it on the bike, in and out of technical corners, a couple of barriers to jump over on foot, and a long stretch of pavement on the back end to sprint after the guy in front of you. Exceedingly painful, but definitely fun.
My dismount needs some work though:
