It was a breezy, cold day here in Minneapolis. Perfect for cyclecross, a little tough for me trying to figure out my camera.
I pretty much did everything wrong, but still ended up with a fair number of shots. I did not get around the entire course, got some of the obstacles, stairs and steep uphill/downhill. Only had one memory card and filled it. Set the camera on the wrong white balance for the first 30 shots.
C&C to help the newbie. EXIF is intact.

#2 On the top of the "stairs".

#5 Mounting up after the obstacle

#6 Spectators put money on the course for those not leading the race.

#7 More than one guy had blood on his legs.

My critique is I had trouble focusing, the sky got blown out since the obstacle was in the shadows, and I still do not know what settings I should use.
