Yeah, I thought that might be the case. I may need to re-calibrate my expectations for how long it takes to back in race shape after skipping a year. Typically the mixed-surface race is my favorite race. There's not much road racing in my area after July, which seems counter-intuitive for an area with harsh winters. I guess everyone's switching to Cross mode, which starts in September. Tour of Walla Walla is this Weekend, which might be a better gauge for my fitness since the fields are large enough for cat-3 to race separately.
