Likely not. I got a bit of a late start on the year due to a long vacation in Feb (month off my bike) followed immediately by a week recovering from the flu. I've raced three races so far since I came back and I've only finished the one. Fitness is slowly turning around though. I have high hopes come May.

the one suffering is the guy behind you because you provide no draft.

Last weekend. I attacked on the second lap because I felt horrible and figured, "What the hey.." But within a few laps they closed in on me.

I was busted completely. My face might not show it but look it my body. Arms stiff, trying to stay more upright ... I was hurting bad.
