FYI - not a pic, but there's some suffering near the end as they try to catch us . I make an appearance around 2:38 on the right in a white/green jersey.

last week i was 8th out of 40+ riders in a difficult climbing race, but there are no pictures.
this week i immigrated to Offthebackistan for most of my race, but there's a photo
My back doesn't look nearly as flat as i imagined, but i think i may be because i was sprinting out of the corner and just settling back into an TT position.

But if you're otb, does it really matter how flat your back is?
Here's my pic from Saturday; please ignore the guy winning the bike race.. I'm busy getting 2nd!! Bad positioning in the final corner earned me the title of 1st loser.. maybe next time I can do it right, I'd like to win again before exiting the Ultimate Cat.

Pain Face sprinting for second.
Later on, doing something silly and going for a prime. This is at the top of the power hill, so plenty of suffering.

That is the plan. Fwiw, the reason I have not upgraded yet is because of a big stage race in a few weeks that I've already signed up for as a 3, and I want to be able to finish the whole thing. The time-cut for the 1/2's was 21:30 in the TT last year, whereas my best TT ever there is like 23:30 (I suck at TTs!).
Also I wouldn't mind winning that stage race crit.. not that I won't try as a 2, but it'll be more realistic in the short term as a 3. Yup, I'm a sandbagger! =]
So anyway the point is that I want to get in the full (Tour of Walla Walla) stage race experience before I upgrade. It will change stage races for me (read: shorten them!) unless I can learn how to TT.. ugh, I hate TTs!

All photos are credited to Ms. Jan Polk, who was very generous with her time and her photos.
Climber7 & I doing our best impressions of Oscar Freire (who probably lost 1-2 seconds today due to looking back 10-12 times in his suicide break)
You know you are hurting when your head drops
Thank Gawd, it's finished

On the far left. Hillsboro Roubaix, Cat 3. Second to last turn on wet bricks after a fast and sketchy decent as evidenced by the three blurry riders in the background.
