My RR could have been awesome, but with no teammates with me, I got stuck off the front too many times but without the assistance to really break away. I tried to jump on break-away efforts with another school, but they sat up the first couple of times. The third time, I was stuck in traffic and couldn't catch on. Too bad, too, because that break stuck. I had nothing left but cramped legs for the last hill, so my finish was near the back of the pack, for 11th. My frustration with that race wasn't so much about sketchy climbing or the fact that my pack let ONE GIRL block for her 2 teammates in the break. My frustration was with how I was bored to tears if I stayed with the pack on a descent or on the tiny rollers. The course was fun! Much better than the previous RR course. Very quick. It can be even faster and more fun when you use those things called pedals. But then if I got to the front, no one would let me move off. No sort of real paceline or rotation happening much at all. I could string the pack out some into more of a line, but then it would just follow me snaking all across the road as I tried to resign from my pull. I need teammates who go to races.

Phatman, my teammate had the same feelings about Navy in that race. That whole race seemed so frustrating.

acorn_user, Pfeiffer is sandbagging. I know they started pretty late last season, but dominating the lower categories gets old. Upgrade.
