Yes, it's official, I'm a pretty sucky road racer. No, this isn't me being dramatic or feeling sorry for myself, when compared to the guys I'm racing against I am definitely sub-par. True, I made it more than halfway through the race without getting dropped but as soon as the road goes up I go out the back. Alright, in all fairness we were climbing steady up Catherine (Hill, Mountain?) and then Gabe from Yahoo went to the front...
I go off the back of yet another race. I'm getting sick of this. I joined up with a group of 3 on the descent and we made an honest effort to make contact but it wasn't to be. I came off the back of that group and was faced with a pleasant ride through gorgeous Eastern Oregon.
Ok, no more whining. I'm here, this is an awesome race and I'm going to enjoy my time.
In all honesty I'm just biding my time until this:
Don't worry about it. You just upgraded from a 3, what a month or two ago? It's going to take a lot longer than that to be able to contend, let alone win, cat 1/2 races.
