El Dorado race re-cap for 05/12/09
Pro/1/2/3 category:
Today, there were six guys to watch: Brian Keate, Shane Lawlor, Andrew Bosco, John VanDyke, Chris McDonald, and the German guy from UCI. 6 racers who were not worried about me, but I was worried about them, cuz if they got away, I would be F'd in the A. I had Julio and Manny as teammates, but 3 guys can't cover six guys with a man to man defense, and a zone defense would be worse.I did what I thought was my best, but I made minor mistakes in tactics and strategy. I ended up 13th for the nite, and whoever I F'd by braking-I'm sorry: it slowed way down and those in front of me shut it down on the left and all I could do was hit the brake or go into the dirt @32mph. I heard the F-bomb, so I figured that was me who caused it.I was very happy to see Eileen, and we talked about this weekend's race as well as my fitness to do intervals. She's upping my training, which I'm not gonna discuss, but if it turns out to be successful, then you'll see more of me at the front and less of me in the back.Masters 40+ category:
No major incidents communicated to me, all is well.Category 4/5:
No major incidents communicated to me, all is well.
