I truly feel that this thread needs to be brought back to life, so here goes:
Sunday was my second race of the season. Raced C at the Westwood Velo Cylcocross in NJ. Anyone else there? A little moist, but otherwise fast. The start was nuts; the whistle blows and almost immediately, about three guys at various points within the pack hit the pavement.... that wretched sound of aluminum grinding on asphalt. Ouch! Don't know what happened, maybe just a little over anxious. I stayed upright and finished eighth. Go me! Two races in CT this weekend. I'll do at least one. Don't know if I have the legs for both.
Here's a training question:
What do you do during the season to keep your fitness without wearing yourself out for weekend races? I'm looking at back to back to back to back weekends here. I don't see how I can do much without sacrificing a race or two.
