Day 3 of the Tulsa Tough
The morning started off pretty weird...There was a HUGE hail storm, Softball size!! I was told that the Tour ride got hammered!! One guy was hit hard with the hail and was bleeding all over and people were diving in to the ditches because there was about 50-60 mph winds!! They ended up cancelling all the minor Category races for the whole day...We started off at about 230...As we were driving to the course there were branches ALL over the place!! It looked like a tornado hit!
This course had a nasty hill climb in it, so that made it really hard for me...climbing sucks! Sprinting rocks!! They had a wonderful setup!! On the top of the hill they had a hill party!! It was like the Tour De Franc hill climb, there was guys wearing horns running up the hill with us and squirting us with water guns, screaming and banging on pots and pans!! Cow bells were ringing!! MORE COWBELL!!
It was really hot and I was just happy to finish the race. I finished out 13th in the race. I think there were about 80 that were in the race and 45 finished. There was a 4 man breakaway and they were about 30 secs up the road.
End of Day 3 and Tulsa Tough...
I'm going to be taking some time off from racing, most likely the whole month of June and just getting ready for Super Week in July 11-27.
I will be doing the Wednesday night crits some times.
Till next time...
