After a year and a half break from racing, I’m finally back! And what a better time, than the cyclocross season opener here at Tokai CX at Hirata.
1年半のレース引退はもう終わった。久しぶりにレースを挑戦してみました。東海シクロクロスの第一平田リバーサイドプラザ。
My goal was to get in the top 5 in the C2 category, but it unexpectedly ended up raining all day and turning the course into a mudder. With just my regular clincher tires and last row start on a narrow course, I was barely able to move up and ended up finishing mid-pack. Not the result I was hoping for, but it was a lot of fun to be back.
目標はC2のトップ5に入ることでしたが雨のせいでコースがドロドロになって私のコーナリングは全然ダメでした。ちょっとがっかりしたけどやっぱりレースは楽しいですね！次のレースをもっと頑張りたいと思います！

Because of the rain, I mostly stayed in the car to stay dry. We didn’t have any rain gear or umbrellas, so I wasn’t able to film as much of the other races as I would of liked.. Next time I’ll be more prepared so I can film more of the awesome cyclocross scene here in the Tokai region of Japan.
A big thanks to Rika as well for bringing me some Rolos all the way back from Michigan!
After suffering from a disappointing result, my motivation is back and even higher than before.. Looking forward to the next race!
