Turlock Lake RR. 3/4

Just didn't have the fitness I did a month ago. A break formed on the first lap and I started to go with it but I realized that there was no way I was going to be able to ride in a break for 45 more miles. Luckily a teammate bridged up to the break and it stuck. I just focused on saving watts. Got into difficulty with about 12 to go and actually got dropped in the cross wind but I was fortunate that the road turned into the wind, I buried myself and finally caught back on. The guy at the back looks at me and says, Holy crap, did you just catch back on? I couldn't even talk.

Anyway, teammate in the break got 4th, another 10th, and I finished with the chase group which was a pretty awesome result considering my crap legs.
