Flat, fast, and 4 corners...

A week without an update...boohoo. What did I learn this week? I hate crits. Why? Because I SUCK at them. I'm just not a crit guy...I need to admit that. Road Racing is my thing and I need to stick with it. The Great Neck Crit sucked, the Manville Crit sucked, and the USBHOF crit on Saturday sucked.

I realize I'm not the most risky rider in the corners...which doesn't help...but I just can't understand why I'm not good at riding a crit. I'm in shape, have a decent sprint, and usually stay near the front.

Of course it didn't help my chances on both Fri and Sat when my left leg started acting up and giving me pain...

Saturday I finished in the top 20 (maybe 15)...but literally lap after lap was just filled with pain from my left thigh. Short of seeing a doctor I'm not sure what to do. I stretch...I warm-up...I rest it. Its not like I'm putting in 4+ hours each day on the bike to constantly agitate it. What sucks is my right leg is fresh as can be...if only my left leg was that way I'd be golden!

This week I'm going SUUUUUPER easy in the hopes that my leg can regenerate for next Saturday. Mount Penn RR on Saturday should be good. Some climbing...some rolling hills...count me in!

Stick to the climbing buddy...


Contemplating the discipline I hate...
