I raced yesterday.
There was a team running excellent tactics in the race.
There was a break. They had 2 men in it. They had 3 guys disrupting the flow enough that the peloton wasn't going to catch.
I attacked and bridged to the break. They sat up.
I attacked and flew off with 2 laps to go. Got a good jump and a 50+ yard gap.
It hurt good.
The team employing tactics ran me down on the last 1/2 lap -- several spectators after came up to me and said they thought I had it.
I had to settle for a top 10.
Today, not so good. I woke up with an upset tummy, but since I had pre-registered I tried to race.
I nearly threw up on a guy from Citrus Cycling in the 3rd lap, that's when I pulled myself out.
Here's my HR info for yesterday so you guys can see fancy graphs.
