It's been ruff

Well, its has been! So I've done 3 races since the Temecula weekend. 

LA Circuit Race 
Hunnikens Criterium
Ontario Gran Prix

LA Circuit Race, is a 3 mile course with 2 180 degree turns 1 direction into the wind and one away from the wind. I was getting sick the day before of race but had payed ahead of time So I did it. This Race I actually felt like I had speed in my legs.  I ended up off the front in groups of 10 and 20 3 or 4 times but none of the moves stuck.  By the end of race I was tired and every effort to get to the front the group kept pushing me into the gutter. I came out of the last turn in 60th moved into 40th (pretty bad, but it has been worse). 

Hunnikens Criterium, I always feel real good at this race. So I sat in and marked Justin Beope who always finishes well.  He went off the  front twice and I went with hi both times. the 1st time we almost split the field. The 2nd time he saw me sitting on his wheel and quit. So The las 3 laps a team actually had a lead-out train and I was to far back to get in the sprint.

Ontario Gran Prix, Ah the thorn in my side. This race deserves it's own post so I will write about this one shortly
