Spring Stage Race, Done!


We had great weather this weekend. The first event was Friday night at Hiland Road Hillclimb. That went pretty good . I finished 3rd behind Yeaton and Jordan. I held a good pace and no one could bridge the gap. It was a solid effort. Saturday morning we had a Crit. That was more like a short road race course. We finished in a group. Jordan, Peichel, and Madson took the overall top three. It was 50 mins plus 2 laps. It was also a good effort. A few hours later we had a 15 mile TT. That was a tough race. I felt Ok before the race, but couldn't get my heart rate up. So, I started down the road and sure enough thats all I had. I couldn't get my heart rate above 172. Thats about 10 beats lower than my normal TT effort. I was beat down. I think I finished 8th. Madson, Jordan, and Peichel finished in the top 3. I ended up finishing 5 overall in the GC. Not to bad, since I blow up in the TT. I feel like I'm still off since my crash 5 weeks ago. Hopefully, I can get a few good races together in the next few weeks.
The one cool thing is that Kaladi riders took 1,2,3 places on every stage and on GC also. Good results for the team. Let you know how Moose Run goes.
