2nd Race Week!
So... after breaking the cardinal rule and arriving to an ITT late, it was jumping around to make the best of the situation. A solid 5 M warm-up for a 10K course;-) I was surprised to take 2nd. My avg HR was well below my threshold, but I managed to put in 26...MPH AVG so it was alright for the amount of warm-up I had.
The 2nd Road Race was another story. I got there with plenty of time and got in a great warm-up. With only 3's in the field and no brace on my wrist this week I decided to lay it out on the line. I figured staying in the field for an uphill finish was a guarantee repeat from last week (12th). I got in about a minute on the field and felt good until the next climb. I got caught at the summit and gapped. I was chasing for the last lap and barely caught the field for the finish and a whopping 17th place.
Next week I'm looking forward for my first Criterium!
