Race # 9 - OTB
hard raceday thursday taken 07/25/2006
This guy was Off the Back in the CAT 1/2/3 race. That’s pretty much what happened to me in the CAT 5 race earlier that day. I was hoping to pull most of the way and did for four laps. It’s much easier for me to keep pace up front rather than battle the incessant accordian effect in mid-field or in the back. Alas, I got cooked and the lead group left without me on the last two laps.
I was far from last; but the fifteen or so riders in the front break placed. I didn’t. I was a good minute behind them.
No stats today since my Garmin was out of juice. If was to estimate our average speed, I’d say it was definitely 24 mph. We were haulin’.
