1/2 way through the series report:

Thiensville - I was really dehydrated and had a hard time doing anything. I was getting gapped and having a hard time recovering. I got dropped/stopped trying with two laps to go because I was getting really lightheaded. Teammates took 3rd and 4th.

Grafton - I did a lot of work trying to keep the field together and bring back a group of 5 that established. I put in a long hard pull with two laps to go and was sitting ~20th at the start of the bell lap. Going up the hill after turn 2 and ABD guy clipped a wheel and took out both of my teammates and a few others. I jump across the gap created by the crash and sprint for 17th after redlining for 2 laps.

Appleton - Teammates didn't show up after their crashes so I got to ride for myself. I was stupid and did everything I didn't want to do, like chase breaks, follow attacks and other pointless wastes of energy. I moved up at the wrong time and too late in the game and finished 21st.

Road America - One teammate was back in and he was too active at the front. So I had to go to the front so he wouldn't be in the wind. with 3 laps to go he wanted to attack so I put in a long pull on the backside of the course and he attacked at the base of the shallow climb/ crosswind/ finish climb section. I blew up along with 15 or so other guys. I chased to the top of the hill hoping they might sit up after he didn't get a separation but they didn't. Pulled out after finishing the lap easy and handed up bottles to our P12 guys.

Sheboygan - Everything went wrong again. A break went away pretty early and Rick Dahm and I were the only people who would chase. It stayed away and so did another group of two. Teammate attacked last lap and again didn't get separation but managed a sprint in the points. I finished 19th.

Overall I'm not doing that great, but I'm really just trying to help the teammate and race into shape for the late season. And funnily enough my results aren't that much worse than last year's.
