On sunday I did the vernon hills gran prix . It was a pretty chill criterium with a big team showing. Finishing a 3week long build period I was a bit apprehensive as to how my legs would be feeling. The previous two workouts earlier in the week were prematurely finished as my legs were feeling heavy.
The cat 4 crit started out super slow. After a couple of laps it got "hot'' and I was dropped. Working together with a xxx'er we managed to go hard the remainder of the race. Our only goal for the race was to work hard to not get lapped. And we almost did it. After trading hard half lap pulls for 30 minutes the pack screamed by us going around the final corner.
Even though I got dropped and lapped I felt good about the effort that I had put out. My legs although not feeling very fresh were starting to show some strength. Finishing a hard three weeks of training im going into this rest week with a lot of optimism. Some easy urban riding yesterday surprised me with amazingly strong and loose legs. The biggest challenge this week will be staying focused during my rides to not go hard despite no matter what my legs feel like. Oh well, at least I already have my summer tan ready.
