I did my 1st cyclocross race recently and do mainly triathlons. Even in a TT, it's amazing how much speed you can carry and time saved in corners. in cross, it's hard to make up for corners speed by hammering out of corners, the fast guys are doing both. Off road, it's all about finding a smooth, fast line over the terrain.
