Cat 5 race #6 for me. Last night's sufferfest, taking my turn at the front of the chase group about midway through the race.
Right after, a guy passed me saying "let's go" to try to catch the lead pack. I just missed his draft, but he went down two turns later, leaving me at the front again. I should have pulled back to recover a little, but kept pulling for the rest of the lap...'til bonktown and then fell off the back.
Didn't get lapped, and didn't DFL, but did much worse than last week.
Note to self: 48 hours is not a long enough recovery from a triathlon (yet).
