only words....

well, my blog, for some reason ,does not want to accept any pictures. i will fix it soon. anyway, the race was hard, with non-stop pedalling. i started about 70th out of around 90 riders, and had a good start. i was at about the 30th place, only to swallow a bee (!!), and had to stop and puke it out! i lost about ten places in the process. i finished 43rd, and was happy with my shape. rotem started in the first row (!!), because he has a high UCI score. he finished 18th, 7 minutes ahead of me. i am pretty glad with my form getting back.
i am now back in L.A, waiting to pick keren up from the airport on friday.
