4th at rmr, an actual race

today i got some stuff done around the house, felt good to tie up some loose ends and make a couple nice additions as i was getting sick of my hr monitor strap always sitting on the bathroom counter...

hit the usual ride out, get to catch up with booth on the way out. get to rmr sign in, track down harward to get a little pep talk, try to meet up with the team to discuss tactics but that didn't go so well...

race on: WOW it was actually a race tonight, quite surprised by that as usually it's 4 guys doing all the work and all the pussies sitting in for the sprint at the end... well tonight was a different story. it went something like this: rmcc was trying to get things started and kept throwing a guy off the front attempting to wear everyone down, too bad their tactic wasn't working as the next guy to go off the front was not going or...well not going...hahahaha (shouldn't laugh as our guys can't usually pull this off either) i got away with a team mate and 3 other guys...we stayed away for an entire lap before we were chased down by one of the other guys team mates...good tactic dumb crap... i sat for a little while and then marek from rmcc goes.....and well we let him sit for most of the lap, i even told my guys not to go and let someone else do the work...and then it happened, a guy from utah premiere)ski utah) went for it and i was on him like white on rice... we worked to get up the road, then we were working like a well oiled machine putting time on the field...another joined us, some random in a blue jersey, then cody joined us for a lap and went off on his own.. the 4 of us worked fairly well together and we ended up staying away for the entire race, not by much though had the group been given another lap they would have had us.... on the straight marek was in front, then me, blue and ski utah... ski utah went just after the 180 and i figured he didn't have the juice to make it by himself to the line, i was wrong.... i sat on mareks wheel, then blue went and so did i.....well i went on the wrong side and couldn't get on his wheel.....i settled for 4th place and am quite happy with it as it's the best i've done at rmr this season.......

side note: rmcc's plans were spoiled, and even better they were spoiled by me....ouch that's gotta hurt..

now, sitting here catching up on blogging and enjoying a glass of wine...nice...
