Wow...I just rode my first race last night and am sooooooooo hooked! I rode the Senior Mens CAT 4 Crit up at Invesco Field last night. It was a short track around the stadium with a little extend loop with a short climb. Overall, I thought I did well, though I didn't finish with the lead group...I did manage to out-scrap the guys in my group - and got a good counter at the end to nudge this guy at the line.
Man...i can't believe how intense and fast this race was...35 minutes of hauling @ss at LT and above. I attached my HR graph for the race, as I thought it was very interesting to see the speed graph on the bottom. You can literally count the number of laps I did + see where the climb was and the 2 little ascents. You can see my HR hittin' 195, too, at the end - that last kick to counter the attack at the final sprint. Damn, I'm hooked! And I'll be back out there next Wednesday!
