so... another weekend of racing. i'm so glad its behind me, as it was a hard one. taking the bus to eilat proved to be a good decision, and i spent the 6 and a half hours on the bus reading two "EVO" magazines. its a car thing i have...
the bike, meanwhile, made some friends in the trunk. the race was a three stage, two day event. a 10 km uphill individual TT, with 620 meters of elevation gain (around 2000 feet) on friday morning. and then, a 70 km criterium race at 2 in the afternoon.
the next morning it was a 120 km road stage, which took everything i had out of me.
the hotel was great, and i love the way they arrange their soaps... anyway, if i was out of shape before the race, there is no doubt i'm on my way back into it after this weekend. i did rather fine in the uphill, finishing 14th overall. i was ranked 18th by the end of day. giving it all i had on the road stage saw me dwindeling down to 33rd by the end of the whole thing.
still, it was a great weekend, and some good workout.
the Shap finished 2nd in the uphill race, and 5th overall. the guy learned from the best, what can i say... good job, kid.
