Mile 4 thru 46 buunch of racing

Mile 47.5: Drop guy that was in no mans land
Mile 47.55: Attack, but can't drop the guy glued to my wheel
Mile 47.57: Recover
Mile 47.59: Attack/sprint way too early, being stupid, and blow up before the finish
Mile 48: Finish 2nd
I had more legs than the guy that got 2nd, I just mentally lost it at the end and learned the hard way that I need to stay focused all the way to the finish.
3 more points till the cat 2's. Might just get them tomorrow. =)
Well done Procrit! Taking the line this morning had to be brutal.

Well my race can be summed up in on word. FAIL. I did waaaay too much work and of course paid for it in the last 1k. Finished outside the points which all that really matters.

EDR stop yer beochen.
Two races in to 2010 and it sounds like most of the peleton is trying to race themselves into shape. Meanwhile you have worked hard for both races and made things happen. Sounds like you are getting ready to post some results. Your team knows you are working for them.

No worries! You'll get it. Having intentions is good. I wasn't in your race, so, I might be out of line here, but, patience and discipline can be key. Also, it's Perty darn early in the season. Tomorrow's another day, smoke 'em!!
Yep, it's early and he shown to have the legs to get things done.

Hey, you were there with 1K to go. I was on the couch, lol. Note my suggestion to EDR. I suspect he made a few guys' day a long one.
