Cyclocross Race in Lake Fairfax Park in Reston

I went to Lake Fairfax in Reston this morning to observe 2018 Capital Cross Classic Cyclocross Race Event #7, my very first one. Cyclocross racing was developed in Europe as a way for road racers to remain fit during fall and winter, and typical cyclocross courses are 1.5- to 2-mile loops on a mix of paved and off-road surfaces over flat-to-rolling terrain. Proceeds of this event benefit the Lake Fairfax Sustainable Natural Trail System program, to build new sustainable trails and restore existing trails in Lake Fairfax Park. I am tempted to try, but really don't like to get so muddy.
