Flatlands Stage 3

April 3, 2011 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Bike

Comments:
51 mile course with rollers, 3 decent climbs, head wind galore, and the final 10 miles at a slow incline.

Wind saw against the early break. Hills did little to bust things up. Main contenders marked each other well and no one slipped away. I tried my hardest.. probably too many times. Still had solid legs for the sprint but got boxed in. Need to be more aggressive to get in position at the 3km out sign. I wasn't the only one boxed in though so I can't complain. Strange results today. Felt like some strong riders got hosed.
Took 7th again. 5th overall for the race. Feel stronger than that, but think in a stage race, with the time the deciding factor and not points I'll have an advantage. Hell of a weekend. Rain, Snow, Hail, painful climbing and cramped sprinting!!

tried to cool down so I wouldn't die in the 4.5 hr car ride home.. but I was too hungry for much
