Recap!
So lets start over again. I had all intentions of using this blog as my main cycling diary for the season...but I haven't been doing so. Mainly because I had a rough start to the season and lost motivation for blogging as I had other things to concentrate on.
To play catch up:
March 10th: Branchbrook Race. Crash! Two guys went down in front of me...no where to go. Sucks because it was 1K before the line...I was in great position. Pulled right calf muscle and sore left knee. Thankfully the next weekend racing was cancelled because of snow. I was sore for a few days though. Maybe it was good to get one crash out of the way early in the season ;-)
March 24th: Branchbrook. Felt great...had good positioning in the sprint. Started it too early and got swallowed up by a few guys at the end. 7th place.
March 27: Augusta. Finally a warm day! 70 degrees! 4th in the B race...10th overall in the handicap. This was my first time riding the course. I liked it...but as usually I was wishing for more hills.
March 31: Branchbrook. Had great positioning in the end and was careful to choose my line after the crash that took me down a few weeks prior. Grabbed a few wheels and then it was time to GO! Got third. Was hoping for 2nd...but got nipped by a Colavita rider on the line.
April 3: Augusta. Felt kind of crappy leading up. Everyone in my office was sick...so I'm sure I had a little "something" Anyway, the race went well...Got 7th in the B race. A good training race.
Got my first upgrade and now I'm determined to be a 3 by the end of the summer. Hoping to target some hillier races in May and June. Haven't really come across any pictures posted of the races...although everytime I look into the crowd there are cameras raised. I hope to post up some visuals when I find them.
More updates and thoughts to come!!!
