In my first cyclocross race I was riding around afterwards and hit a pothole in Strathcona Science Park whacking my right ankle on my pedal and gouging a chunk out of it.

Training for my 2023 cx season I slipped my right foot and gouged my ankle on my big ring. This one probably could have used stitches.

Half a week before entering the Hop n Hurl race I was cruising downhill to Capilano Park for some good cx practice. The offroad downhill goes into Rundle park and is called get ready to rundle on TrailForks. I was descending on the hoods, not in the drops and I guess my weight wasn’t far enough back so when I hit the hard rut and my front wheel turned I went over the bars. I didn’t hit my head but got my knees, hip, wrist and ribs.

I came into this race knowing that last year’s Puncheur Cross was my favourite. Unfortunately I had a training crash the Tuesday before this race, which put me in kind of a bad place. Mostly scraped up, but also a bit of a bruised wrist and some bruised ribs. I figured I’d be okay to race still, but I wasn’t setting my expectations too high.
