Done racing for a bit

10 days, 8 races, fully gassed now. My results hit a plateau out here, but it was at least good to finish a couple of USA Crits races, and get in the money once, and feel like I got in some seriously good training. Speed Week was alright, but I definitely did not have the fitness to last the whole way through each 90 minute race. This week I was able to get into the mix when I had good legs and I was able to finish the races when I didn't. I am looking forward to a break and hopefully a big boost that comes with that rest.

Update: Last week, a guy promised me his prize money if I led out a local training crit for him. I didn't say a thing after the race, because I didn't really mind not getting the $25 he was taking home. But he bumped into us at the next couple of races and said it was on its way. I said, no problem man. But the next time I saw him at Hyde Park Blast he handed me a wad of money. I didn't count it - just stuffed it in my pocket... until later... and it turns out it was only $5. I wouldn't mind getting nothing - but if you say you are going to do something, you should just do it and fork it all over.

And since Cinci loves it's training park crit, they took about a thousand photos of this race... here is Ryan and I making those guys suffer.
