Back on the start line. It was amazing to be still racing after such a brutal and deep gash on my knee just 7 days ago. I actually felt good in the race today and placed much higher then I expected. It was nice to finish ahead of some riders who beat me bad the previous weeks. For the most part I felt pretty strong and I know it will only get better as my leg heals up. I rode extra safe as I knew I could not fall on my shredded knee. There were a bunch of crashes all around me, as the traction was slick and the course was extra tricky. But I rode under control and really enjoyed the challenge. I will get better.
