I don't think you are in any of the pictures my wife took, but I'll try to get them up this weekend, I have to work up the motivation to color-correct and crop them.

National 10 mile TT champs (TLI, Not Pro!...) Was constantly on the verge of vomiting and did my year's worst performance...

A few pics from today's crit. I was definitely in the suffer house. Lost the main group on the first lap because some people I got caught behind were already dropping on the first lap, which is stupid. Tried to bridge back but ended up being second group on the road the rest of the crit.

Another shot from Mt. Diablo this morning. Trying to channel my inner Chris Horner.

Me at the finish line on Diablo (in red). Pretty spent at the end of the final steep section, couldn't quite reel the dude in

Man, your guy's finishing line pics are better than mine. I had to go way left and put my head down to get around people on the wall bit.

I know. What were you thinking? It's almost as if you were spending more time concentrating on being faster or something.

out of curiosity, when you are in the IAB, does it matter if you have your elbows close together? It looks like you have had quite a few results doing the IAB with your elbows wide

Is it just the photo or is that almost a curb? Looks like you could get some air on that, probably not what you'd want to do however.
