The Race: Downtown Walterboro Criterium
The Course: 25 laps, 4 right turns
The Field: Pro 1/2/3 women
The Finish: 26th
I felt tired and flat going into the race, but once we got started, I came around and had a good time. The course was bumpy and the last two corners before the start/finish stretch were tight and slowed the field a lot, but I…suddenly have no motivation to write this race report. None. Let’s wrap this up quickly.
Highlight of the race: Leading the field for nearly a full lap and almost winning a prime (darn LVG and her awesome speed putting me into second in the sprint to the line).
Lowlight of the race: Pain in my left foot and an ongoing argument between my saddle and tender parts.
Moving forward: I need to work on riding comfortably and consistently towards the front of the peloton. I can get there but I often can’t merge smoothly into the group, and even when I do, I can only keep my position there for a short time. Still need more practice, I suppose.
Talking about your tender parts….and posting pictures.
Spent!
Jesus, with the effort you guys are putting in, it is hard to believe you have the energy to write anything at all. I wonder just how many kilojoules you will have expended by the time the odyssey is over. I’m sure those kits still smell like lilacs, though.
May I suggest getting the color on your legs to match your arms, it is hard to see you two in the photo due to all of the glare 🙂
Job well done!
