Ah, to be humbled.

I got my shit rocked today. The race was long, hot, and brutal. Being on vacation for 5 weeks and not racing for at least seven didn't help matters. I seem to be really fit, i mean I put in multiple 20+hour weeks while in Europe, but without racing you lose that top end racing fitness, the type I needed today. I raced relatively smart with this in mind but fatigue, cramping, crashing and some slight bike issues kept me from really doing anything but finishing.

The Pain Cave


Oh yea, I was the alternate for USADA.


Congrats to teammate for Mitch Peterson for getting second today, we were all routing for him to win.
