next

ok, another little break in the action, not that i had a break, the action did. saturday's road race was one i'd like to remember. 110km in the wind, not far but far enough to really empty the legs. it split on the first little rise, a minute into the race. it shattered, it went from a group of 60 to a group of 6 and group of 12, that was it, everybody else was gone. too far back even then to be seen again. a little shake up on the next 18km lap and that was how it stayed. fast, windy and a bit scary. no big deal keeping the chasers away, and we never made a dent into the break. sprinting for 5th and i go down, get 9th. not hurt just bruised.
