The race started at noon in the 90 degree heat, and humidity was about the same, After the initial road stretch of 2 minutes, we started climbing. Climb we did!finding myself in third position, i worked hard to outpace a charging Brian Marsh and Justin Raynes. The Tires were hooking up but i got caught when my chain jammed in between my crank and my big ring!
Finding the eye of the tiger, i charged the second climb, which was much steeper than the first, but about the same elevation change. I found a good rhythm and after the decent and the steep, punchy world cup finish, rolled into third place behind Jeremiah and Matt Bailey!
Racing has gotten off to a slow start, due to a lot of Saturday races that i have to work during, but i am stronger than last year around this time partly because of this. Big rides have been happening twice a week, and my endurance is so good!
Also exciting, a new bike arrived for me this week, a Felt Virtue One! 5 inches of travel should come in handy for training and at some gnarlier races.....Michaux?
Next on the plate, some high intensity training at Giro de Ville!
