Velotek Grand Prix

Sorry I've been absent for a bit, it's been an interesting month. Just finished the Velotek Grand Prix stage race and boy am I tired! It was the most difficult and demanding race I have ever competed in. I finished 8th over the three stages which consisted of a 2.5km time trial, a 7k criterium and a 17k road race over two days. I managed to shave an amazing 10 seconds off my previous time trial time! I'm taking a break for a week and then I hit it again.

Good show!

Well, Tuesday didn't work out with daughter #2 sick so I skipped it and rode solo Wednesday instead. The wife and I rode briefly Friday night as part of our date and come Saturday, I came through...I took second place in the final sprint at SF #6! I am very happy with that though I am still feeling somewhat apprehensive about being in a tight pack, I'm sure it will take time to recover mentally from the wipeout.

Spring Fling #5

Had a disappointing day. I am suffering from some lingering back pain from last week's wreck and a little apprehension riding tightly in a pack. The Tuesday nighter returns again with a chance to brush up on my pack skills before Spring Fling #6, my last chance to score points. More importantly, my chance to prove to myself that I can improve.
The VeloTek Grand Prix is at the end of the month. I have a hard road of training laid in front of me. Luckily, my wonderful family is very supportive.

Ciao for now.
