Cyclocross: Turkeycross (Video)

Chris's picture

Another exciting week at the Velopark. This was my first race after 4 weeks off due to a broken rib or two. I was late to the line so I failed to get a start that would launch me to the front of the race. As you know, being relegated early only puts you further from the front of the race in the first two laps. It changes the race to one of just moving up, which is it's own kind of fun. I managed to to that fairly well, as the video should show.

Only one crash, but it was a funny one. I "turtled" and didn't even come unclipped. I have gotten so go at crashing that it has become fluid.

I hope you enjoy.

Must've just missed ya...

I showed up right before the next race started to do a little cheering and must've just missed ya.

Great vid once again. I like the "A little anger make you faster" caption... reminds me of Shleck's stomach full of anger making him want revenge! (The typo makes it sound like Andy's sweet accent in my head anyway)

Great Race!

Chris, you are the man. Thanks for the video and captions, I'm enjoying racing through you this year. It looks like you're riding strong, even with all that extra camera weight. Which reminds me ... a chest-cam? Really?

Thanks Chris for all the videos. They have motivated me to try cyclocross racing. I will have to watch out for the turtle on my first race. Great video.

Yay!

I am so glad to hear you like the videos and that they motivated you to try. I have heard that from a couple of people and that makes it all worth it. As is tradition, you will have to slaughter me in your first race. It's what happens.
