yeah windy TTs are among those race conditions where i'm glad i have a little more bulk holding me down than most guys (160)...
TT specialist friend of mine who raced the same day, whos closer to 140, and also ran a disc, says he literally got lifted up and pushed over about a foot by one of the xwind gusts.

Suffering. Had done a bunch of chasing earlier in the race and was just trying to survive it out.

Chuck Pontius Criterium Cat 4
In the Rasta kit right as I was bridging to the breakaway
shortly after the break didn't last
Super fun crit in my old neighborhood. It was nice seeing a lot of old faces and meeting some cool new ones.

I like trying to guess the category from race pictures..
Cat 5's are easy: they look like **** on the bike, super scared/nervous, locked elbows and parachutes flying around (badly-pinned #'s).
Cat 4's are a little less scared, with a slight bend in the elbow. Helmets start looking a little more pro too.
Cat 3's just look plain awesome b/c we're 3's.. I think it's the number pinning & skinsuits that make us look so cool.
Cat 1/2's just look like they're doping. Oh and they have nice wheels and flat backs.
Yup, that pretty much sums it up!

^From the same weekend/ same race. =D
Pain in the pack:
Rewarded in the final sprint:
Literally though I was going to crack and just go out the back door. Thanks to some teammates, I got to take a stab at the sprint.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.
