There is a message in there somewhere. Saturday's races left me wondering why I am in this sport. Sunday's reminded me. Now I need to find a way to convince myself that I can win.

Also... I either need to get a bike fit, or release my death grip on the bars. Spend 90-95% of each race in the drops and had my hands go completely numb about 3/4 of the way through each (like couldn't shift at times because I wasn't sure I was touching the lever). I usually don't have an issue in the drops, but I also usually don't spend an hour there.
