I have switched from marathon training to a more or less full cyclocross season with 1-2 gravel races, and a 50k running race at the end of November. I am pretty excited for the new direction. Just looking to mix things up temporarily while still running a good deal.

You made me look up cyclocross! Cool sport I've never heard of. I look forward to watching you compete on The Ocho!

I thought it was goofy at first, but then I started looking into it. I ride one race last fall and it was pretty hard. Basically 5-mile to 10k effort I would say.
