Great work - Still very dry here in Seattle... race 6 and still on file treads. Are you using a older Garmin? Just curious on your recording setup. Check out my races on my page.... Way to go you get hr and rpms just right!
@@ShawnPeerson Yeah man, so far Charm has been the only race that hasn’t been completely bone dry and even dusty so far this year! Crazy. I’m actually using a Wahoo Elemnt Bolt and a GoPro Hero 9, but with the old Garmin Virb Edit software. I have to do a few tweaks to get 4k/60fps out of it and use ShutterEncoder for merging the video file pieces first, so I don’t have to re-encode the videos and lose quality.
@@gavin7035 Yeahhh, there’s a lot of fast kids in Cat 3 but sometimes I think they miss their pedals and things can get messy up front. In this case though it was apparently a broken chain, but man it was not a fun experience! I think Charm start is often worse than most because of the turn, and the mud on the asphalt wasn’t helping either!
@@myoung14I don’t really think so, I didn’t hit anybody. The whole field suddenly moved hard to the right and we were suddenly braking very hard once the guy broke his chain. It’s difficult to go from a full sprint start to slowing suddenly when you don’t know what happening in front. I hit the barrier with my arm in order to avoid getting into and taking out any riders.
Wow thank you for posting this and further reaffirming my decision to skip both days. See you later this season I'm sure!
@@BadTanLines Aww man, but you’re missing out on the fun true cyclocross Belgian mud conditions (except not that cold yet)! 😜🇧🇪
I raced day one on cat 5 and I died the entire time 😂. I was dead set on skipping it right up until pre ride.

Damn I thought 4/5 was a shit show cat 3 is even worse

@JSlade11 but also you kinda ran into the back of a bunch or riders?
