Backwards
Made it out sunday for a little repeat wells ave action. However during the warm up spin my legs weren't even drift wood, they were just going through the motions, powerless. Not a good a sign, two many hours at the beach the day before? Chasing the mumbling little man around? I was zapped. It was a super small group for the race. It started with an immediate jump off the front, he was later realed in and then dropped, twice by the group. I think overall he was lapped three times? Tucked in behind Mr. Orange and he took a 2 lap pull, and then it was my turn. My two lap pull wasn't bad but my HR went through the roof and wouldn't come back down, dehydration maybe? Pulled out, no one pulled through, slowed down, the pack slowed down, nobody wanted to come out front. Whats the point of racin' if your just gonna sit in the back and noodle around. Spent a few laps "recovering" before the mid-lap prime, wound it out pretty good trying to help Mr. Orange, but got strung out and thats when it was a downhill slide out the back. Kept fighting to get back on, only to get strung out again. Oh well, I conceded defeat and turned the remaining laps into a personal TT, trying to keep certain speeds through each section. It was not a great peformance but the intensity was good and Mr. Orange got second i think. The guy on the 80's trek really had some power but I don't think he did much during the preivous laps. Saeco, Ibex and Mr. Orange really put a show on with many pulls each. Much fun. Now its off to more than my share of family plans and booked weekends. ESC is gonna drop off the GT, just in time for CX, so thats gotta get prep'd and ready, so I can drop the hurt hammer on myself and fight for last place
