Race Report (May 10th)

I raced today.

It was bloedheet, as the Dutch like to say.

I attacked from the gun, to test my legs. I didn't like how they felt.

Damn jet-lag.

Fortunately my tactical sense was in tune.

That is all.

Jet lag? Does this mean that there is a botto shaped gap in a paceline somewhere in Tennessee?

To a guy from Orange County, Dutch and Flemish are the same. Kudos on the placing. I wonder if the races in Europe are like the ones in NY? Did you race Masters? Do they have Categories there?

Always cool to place anyway, when you feel like ass. Way to fight through the junk.
