How small of a wheel/tire size can you put on a cycle-cross bike? 700x23?

I don't understand the question. Yes you can ride road tires on a cross bike.

Actually my arm hurt pretty bad (check this pic) . TD caused a stupid crash earlier in the race and my arm got slammed. I still have the scar.

That race was so hard... I wish it was still around. The sound going up those climbs was volcanic. So many people!
