THE BEATER RESULTS ARE IN
RACED THE BEATER TONIGHT. It was rough. According to Starva, I worked significantly harder than previous two races. According to the race results...
... I got smoked, again.
This is going to be a fun nut to try to crack.
There are 5 more races.
5 more chances to figure out what the heck is going on.
5 more weeks to get my race bike back in racing condition.
But, I really don't think it's the bike.
The guys are all riding really well.
We had two new guys show up this week, and the Coxy, who's been beating us, skipped.
Emilio won. For those of you keeping score at home, Emilio is my pal who I desperately managed to hold off for 2nd at the state road race last month.
Look at his lap times.
That's crazy, right!...
... how did he dose his effort so perfectly?
Compare that to mine.
Clearly, I cracked on the 2nd lap.
I passed 4th place on the first lap, then he passed me back and put a minute and half into me. Had to cheer him on...
... he's also named Todd.
What am I gonna do between this week and next?
- Order the parts to fix the race bike, but doubt they'll get here in time.
- Try and drop some of the extra pounds I'm carrying.
- Get in one more hard ride Saturday.
- Recover, recover, recover.
Anything else?
- See what moving parts can be improved on the beater.
- Maybe throw on some new tires.
Is that it?
- I'm tempted to cut out the daily cross training for the remaining weeks.
