Saturday was the coldest day of the year I think with snow and wind. Needless to say, I did not get out to do the time trial. It would have been really stupid of me. I am SO glad I blew it off and swam inside in a warm pool instead. I worked at the bike shop Saturday so I was able to hear about the conditions from Robbie Kidd first hand. He spoke of the time trial miserably and I am SO glad I listened to Smap, and did not race.
Sunday, it was beautiful. Smap was there with his CBC tents and Tim came to assist racers with any mechanical needs. It was a very nice day for racing. I was so nervous going up to the starting line. I haven't raced a crit in four years. There were a few pro's there as well as women who have been racing consistently for the past few years. I held my own though and stayed up with the leaders. I was not disappointed with my 5th place finish at all. I was just glad to see where my fitness level is at compared to other's. Also, I know what I need to work on....several things. It was a good time though. My lungs are killing me today having worked so hard in the cold to put out so much effort. Smap took a lot of shots, so I will try to get them up later this week.
FOUR DAYS TILL SPRING BREAK!!!! Yippeeeeeee!!!!
