One more stage race of the season...
Racing has been done for a few weeks now, but one last race remaining this weekend.
This last 2day stage race is always complicated..... there hasn't been any racing and therefore no
motivation to go hard for weeks...and then this... Nobody I know trains for it, but we all still want to do good. This means it will be painful, especially the 15mile TT.
I've done this race now for the last 5years, since I started this road race thing... so even if
it means a 6h drive on friday afternoon/night and then the same coming back Sunday after the road race.....it's worth it...well thats what I tell my self.
The first two years I did it the weather was perfect, and despite the last 2years of rain...I always think of it as being nice.... if it rains again this year I might have to update my view.
Last year all I had to do was finish in the pack for the crit and I would have been 8th on GC... well the rain changed that and I got dropped with 2 laps to go.... (maybe if I had trained for it...)..
The season isn't quite over after this weekend... on tuseday I fly to Bermuda for a series of short races... more on that later.
