Tysons Crit Cat 5

The plan today was to get in a hard 30 minute above threshold workout. I wanted to see how the legs would respond after yesterday. So, that means attacking...attacking, until I can't anymore. The temperature was perfect. I love that course. NCVC puts on a solid race.

It was good to finally meet Grayson (Bikerack) at the end of the first loop. I just started doing work the second time up the finish climb. Not much really to report. I spent about 14 minutes total off the front in two different stretches (28min race). I tried to save a little bit for the end, but just didn't have any pop left in the legs for the sprint. I took 5th.

I was pleased with the effort. I'm looking forward to getting on the TT bike a few times this week.

Igda made me an awesome brunch when I got home. I think I need to pick up the mileage. She's getting to be a pretty darn good chef.





Almost forgot. I stayed and watched the 3 race and some of the 4. That guy who soloed for the win in the 3 race was a freakin beast. Impressive display.
