That was a fun weekend of racing. I used the 12.4 mile out and back Horse County TT to practice a negative split, something I had never accomplished, the Denton Crit for some intervals, and the Road Race for fun. I was pleased with my TT, as I accomplished my goal of a negative split and ended up with an avg HR of my LT (sorry no PM). I placed 22nd out of 61 on a crazy windy day with a time of 32:17 for an avg of about 22.7 mph. The crit sucked though, as I got blown out the back about half way through. Props to the Plano Cycling guy who soloed it. The RR was fun, until the crash on the finishing hill. So pack finish in that race as I had to dodge the carnage. A buddy broke his collar bone. I don't think I'll ever do a 4/5 race again, I'll stick to the 4's for now. I know, I know, there are crashes in every field, but that was the SQUIRRELIEST race I have ever taken part in. All in all a good weekend of training.
