Super Week Recovery

It's been a week since I've been back from Super Week. I raced in the Texas State Individual/Team Time Trial this past weekend. The temperatures were unbearable, 100+ degrees! I started to cramp up half through the individual time trial and road home to a slow 57:57

The Team Time Trial, we had, Tom Kubicek, Jeremy Thomson, and Jason Bentley. We were rolling on the way out with a slight tailwind. Jeremy, not had race the day before, was cooking at 33mph on the way out while we were pushing 30mph. He muttered something to me while he was going to the back and then I didn't see him again...He blew up. He said he couldn't get comfortable on his saddle.

So Tom, Jason, and I had to work together on the way back. Those guys put in a strong effort and we finished out with a 51:57 to take 5th place in the P/1/2's.

I won't be racing road for the remainder of the year. I'm preparing for the Half-Ironman Miami Man...I should be getting my swim coach soon, so I'm not a dead weight in water.

I've been given a new nickname from the owner of Williams Cycling Wheels, "The Natural"

Till next time!
