Wow! The race this weekend was so fun. My first good omen for the weekend was my race number, 406! Friday was the TT...3 miles and very painful. I felt like I had smoked a pack of cigs by the end. Luckily, though, I did well and gave myself a 20 second cushion for the weekend. I didn't realize how important that was until Sunday.
Saturday was an early one for a 40 mile rr in 2 laps. The first lap was brutally slow. I just kept laughing at how slow it was, especially when we got rocked by a group of juniors. Finally, with 15 miles left, 5 of us made a break and worked together to the finish. I never thought this would happen but all 5 of us were still together in the last stretch and I beat the other girls out in a sprint, getting the W by only a half a wheel's length! I was stoked to say the least.
Sunday was another early, cold one for a 5 lap 28 mile circuit race. A few of us were feeling good so we started strong to get warmed up. Lap 3 was a sprint bonus for the first 2 and I got the 2nd one...yay! I was still feeling strong by the end and finished 2nd in the circuit race. I was very happy with my first race of the year. I ended up with the GC win by a 15 second cushion thanks to my TT! Now I am a few bucks, 3 yellow jerseys, and one ugly t-shirt richer.
Can't wait to race in MT! Happy training...
