| for this race i had been a little behind on my training because i had just set up my job and the week had been crazy. i was really hoping for a breakaway to a big finish like the pros do, but it didnt end up that way. to start the race i stayed right up front barly drafting waiting for some silly dope to initiate my breakaway, but i found there were no silly dopes at this race. so with 10 to go my legs felt like big cement blocks and my heart rate was way way up, so i thought to my self "do i want to win this-obvisly-well spin and draft then!!" and my inner thoughts were right. i just sat watching my heart rate drop back to a respectable 160 ish and my legs regaining feeling. and on the last 3 laps every one was getting anxious for the finish so the pack had stretched out to a big paceline. on the last lap 2 guys had gone off right next to me and i thought this is my shot, and hopped into the draft with my legs feeling better still. we just stayed up front till the last corner where a few juys tried to fight past but they went too erly, i buzzed by them in the last 100 yards with 3 guys in front of me. this is where my only regret is because i thought-theres 3 people in front of me, there (the top 2) are really going at it, and my legs are screaming by now so i just kind of coasted into the finish. to find out the top 2 were from mass and if i had just peadled into the finish i would be the champion (the guy who won was .1 sec in front of me). but i ended up getting the second place hunk of metal and 40 smackeroo's, reed ended up getting 3rd place for ct and there should be a pic up soon of us on the podium. |
