REST!!!

This past week was our Spring Break even though it was not Spring yet. O well it was a much needed break from school. Got to catch up on some sleep and got to just relax. I went back to Denver to see the Fam and Friends, it was nice to catch up. Then last weekend was the first collegiate races for RMCCC. Two crits, one on Saturday in Boulder and Sunday in Wyoming wich we decided to skip out on the Sunday one because that is a long drive back for a 1 hr crit.
So saturday was the same CU crit that have had for many year. Very simple, an oval with decent road a few potholes and two dips after the start finish. Very little incline so it is always a fast race. I went into the day knowing my Knee has been hurting and this is my first effort at elevation so I didnt really know what to expect. Lined up in the back row because FLC and CU all had like 10 guys each and they all lined up like 5 min before the start. We had a little bit of pressure to do good because we won this race last year. Once we startred I was just so excited to be racing and the legs felt awesome so i went on attack after attack. But to make it easy nothing stuck and it was a bunch sprint. With about a lap and a half to go we got swarmmed up front and before i knew it i was in the middle of the pack so I had to work hard to get back towards the front but just dint have enough time. However Rich won and I ended up 4th. Pretty excited with the form and getting the Win I was excited to get back in the groove of racing.

Check out Velonews for race report:

But now I am SICK, ugggg. My body is telling me to rest I think so thats what I am going to do until it is ready to get back out there. I am kind of bummed because I will have to miss this weekend of racing but it is still very early in the season and no need to be pushing it yet so going to take some time off until my body gives me the go ahead to get back out there.

Until next time....
