comparing to last year's DNF after getting dropped on the first lap, this year was way better. but compared to what I was hoping for, today was a drag. it really wasn't too tough most of the day just sitting in, but at 8 k or so to go, there was a big acceleration and i was not in the position to go with. AKA i was about half way back in the peloton. it really wasn't that hard of a move, seeing as 50 other guys made it... just a position thing. that's bike racing.
the team rode very well though. Stu was kicking some butt... Rowe kicked some more butt after flatting and chasing back on... and Matt was a fighter and finished er up.
agenda for the evening: shower/eat/utilize some phlebotomy skills perhaps/don't budge until the 18 mile TT that starts early at 10 am!
ps- yes, i'm tired, and yes today was difficult.
A bit about me
- Justin Rose
- I'm from Pocatello, Idaho where I graduated from Century HS in '02. I then headed to the University of Denver and picked up a B.S. in Molecular Biology. In my last year in Denver, I started collegiate cycling racing, and it was awesome. From there, I just got more and more into the sport. Now I'm racing my 2nd season with Team Bobs-Bicycles.com as a cat 1. I just started med school at Rocky Vista University. I've been waiting to do this since I started undergrad. Sounds like it'll be a tough haul, but it couldn't be any harder than an NRC stage race, right? Speaking of bikes, I'll ride still. Something needs to keep me sane.
Love these teams!
