Colorado-Day 1 - Time Trail 07/10/2010
It wasn’t my best race but I guess I should be happy and I have a chance to show some better form tomorrow. I didn’t feel comfortable on the bike today. I like to spend more time pre-riding the course, especially if it is such a short race and every second counts. Oh, well I wasn’t proud of the rocky section and I tried to make the time up on the second part of the single track. I was going pretty fast and didn’t make one of the turns and flew off the trail, oops. I should be happy that I wasn't hurt and I finished in 15th . Forgot that it is not east coast with our sticky ground, it’s pretty loose here so I’ve had my lesson for today. Have to be more careful.
Matt was doing great and caught up to the guy in the front of him. I guess he was doing the same mistake as me and crashed pretty hard. We are not sure how he did overall… you know Matt, he loves to go to races and talk to all the people and I think he forgets hes even racing. He is like a kid going from vendor to vendor getting FREE stuff, jumping for joyJ He almost missed his start. UCI representive was calling him up 4 minutes before the starts but Matt was chatting with people, showing up on the start line 15 seconds before the start with a BIG smile and saying “it’s perfect timing”, angry UCi representive didn’t even say anything.
Bryna was 17th and she didn’t like the elevation too much. It’s hard to breathe. Enough talking about crappy race day…We actually had a good time during the day exploring the area. We went to see Gardens of God and it was beautiful. Check it out some pictures below. There is always a good think about traveling to the races, you always see new places and I love that.
Keep your fingers crossed tomorrow. It’s always helpsJ
Thanks! Aleksandra
