As much as people train (or don’t) body and mind for Cross...to “perfect their Calling”............it all becomes fodder for MYTH as soon as you finish or dnf. How else can it have become Crossligion. No offense intended!
I am not doing an “easy ride” today!

David might be on to something. I am sure they were looking for misc. clothing, parts, & eyewear when checking the course after race. Actual racers in potential semi-conscious stupor might have been invisible to them.
Matt is right with regard to Dry. It is not just bumpy....it is Brutal Bumpy! Dry condition tires were the secret for sure. I started the day with mud tires on, but after pre-ride, switched to dry. I even had time pick some blackberries when I went into them on that deceptive soupy first descent out in the farm field. I would not have had time for that with mud tires. Actually. I survived like the rest of you.
Andy. You are not supposed to look at the tree! If you do...it seduces you!

It should be cancelled if it doesn't rain... Brutally bumpy when it's dry.

I hit a tree head on while slaloming down to the bridge, rode into the brambles several times and just generally had a hard time staying on my bike. It was perfect!
That's the stuff of legends.
