did my first race of this season today. the sandy hook tt. PUNISHING! was fun though. met alex, ken, nick, and matt down there and we all warmed up on trainers together. did 45 mins on the trainer which felt good. went off 6th with alex right behind me at 7th position!
right off the bat the race was crazy! in the first mile due to the 20+mph head/side wind all the riders were greeted to a face washing with sand coming off the bay side beach. fucking hurt! after the punishment of the first half of the ride the turn around welcomed a tail/side wind that carried me back. finished 25th out of 65. dont know how i did in the "be like eddy" competition (no aero equipment). will find out in the next few days. but had a good ride. after though i think i could have pushed a little harder on the way back in. oh well. still am happy with how i did. and i didnt crash!!
oh and alex passed me in the first 2 miles!
