lets go climbing

first climb was tough, duh. main group was about 50... including rowe and slack. i got gapped a smidge and was in the chase of 20. we caught on after 20 minutes or so. then we just cruised for a while... until the last 6 mile climb.

levi attacked, and obviously everyone responded who could, which was nobody. but they sure did speed up. rowe was in the second group and slack and i were in the 3rd group. then at 2k to go, a dude went down right in front of me... and i can't bunny hop an entire bike, so i supermanned over it. (yes, my palms hurt). then my bike landed on top of me, which wasn't quite as uncomfortable as you'd think. i couldn't get the chain unkinked and on until one of our guys helped me out. then it was making weird sounds, but it got me to the line.

i believe i got same time as my group though, so we should be lookin alright on the team GC. i'm gonna go lick some wounds.

if anyone has any advice on bruised/broken scaphoids, let me know, because i have two that hurt.

one more race tomorrow! about 75 mile circuit race... and it has climbs that are steep and hard.
