I am not sure how long into the race I decided to remove my mud caked glasses and accept the occasional speck of dirt to the iris . It was dirt through the eyes or trying to catch a glimpse of the action through the mud coated lenses . The course was wet and muddy and racers were all over the place .

Question: Why did I decide to remove my mud caked glasses ?
Answer: Because I could n't see out of them .Because I tried to catch a glimpse of the action .Because the course was wet .Because I accepted the occasional speck of dirt .
