I had a good ride tonight. 30 miles with a few rollers. I thought I might be a little tired from the weekend but I actually felt good. Saturday was the the state Cat 3 crit. The course was terrible, a big 'L' shaped loop with a 180 at each end...30 mph to 5 mph back to 30 mph back to 5 mph for 45 minutes. Not a real state championship course. The field was small, only about 30 riders. A group of 3 got away after about 20 minutes and managed to hold of everyone else. I finished in what was left of the field, maybe 14th or 15th, it didn't really matter. I decided to skip the 40+ state championship race on Sunday. I just was not motivated to race again this weekend. I decided to do a 3 hour ride from home instead.
