Today was the Cascade Lakes Road Race. It was fun. I almost crashed during the rollout… awesome. The 71 mile stage started with a 2 mi climb- I averaged 310w up it, but the last two minutes were around 360w. Then the fast began. We did 27mph for 4 minutes, then 13 minutes at 37+ mph. There was a little drama (surges, bumping) but no crashes. It was nerve-racking for me.
The feed zones were good. Thanks again, Heather.
I got dropped hardcore with 11 miles to go. I lost 22 minutes, averaging 158w and 164bpm for almost an hour. I could not go, and it was capital-B Bad. I got 35th out of 42. South Carolina + hot + altitude + Cat 3’s = hard. Or Ivar = slow. Or some combination.

I like Heidi and Sam a lot. And Chris Horner.
