This past month has been pretty busy with training, racing and working. I haven't had much time to sit and write up a post. I've written bits and pieces but haven't had time to finish it. This past month i've done a couple of WORS races where I won age group in both of them and took 23rd and 24th overall. I felt great during each race but everyone else was also feeling good I guess. I've also done a couple of TOAD races. I've raced Cat 2/3 and have gotten dropped in both races. The first race some guy takes out 2 people around the first turn, up the first hill, on the first lap and almost took me out. This put me about 5-10 seconds behind the field and it was impossible to catch back on. In the second race, again some guy goes down and takes out 3-4 riders in the first mile and almost took me out. I got back on the back of the pack but with a nasty cross wind, it was really hard to move up. I was riding at my limit and popped. I ended up doing 4 of the 5 10 mile loops because on the 4th lap I broke my rear derailleur cable. Now today I'm racing at Downer classic and hopefully I will be able to hang with the group. I'm still going strong and keeping focused on the months ahead. Can't wait till august when I get to see my grandparents and teammates. It feels so far away but it will be here before I know it. See all you guys soon. Here are some pictures from the past races
