You did that on purpose, didn't you?
And come on. There are something like 4 women in this town who can keep up with the Tuesday night ride. When I go to a tri club meeting, it's something like 50% women, and they're mostly cute. There has to be more to life than the sausagefest that is Florida road racing.

Oh, I disagree. Crits are a friggin blast. The actual racing is so dynamic and exciting that I don't give a crap about the fact that I'm no good at it. Getting dropped in hard road races is depressing, because my best hope of really getting good results is by climbing. Being outclimbed, therefore, totally sucks. And TTs suck because it doesn't matter how hard I focus or how much I suffer, everyone is going to blow by me. Crits are just way fun, and you don't need to worry too much if your fitness is a bit off, so they're a good way to get some racing in without really trashing your morale if the training hours have been hard to come by.
