The course was dead technical - never sure if my challenged bike-handling is worse than my beer-fat lack of fitness. But it's the same course for us all, of course.
I fell second lap which made me a bit too cautios on the slippy turns, and I had for the first time ever clogged cleats, which made descents bad.
When I cleaned the bike after, the pedals were absolutely jammed with straw and smal twigs.
