first one

i survived the first weekend of racing, cross is a long way off, not that it has much to do with a road race in april but it was cross-like northern classic weather. super windy and not so warm, it was a good thing to be ready for the echelons. i did the smart things and kept the main group until the legs gave up. and they gave up-hard. i was caught by a chase group and finished with them in the safety and shelter of smarter riders. after my 3 hour+ day i was ready for a hot shower and a sandwich. not much i could do about the lack of juice in the legs, more about learning to save the matches for when it matters. i think i'm finally recovered, i slept last night, no ghosts waking me when i don't want the company. i need to figure out saturday, another 100k over dirt roads, what bike, what food?
