State TT and other stuff

Last weekend was the State TT.

It went pretty well. I got third with a time of 31:43. I was happy with my time. I was on Austin's bike which was nice. The only problem with that was that I had only ridden it the Saturday before the race. I think if I would had some more time on the bike I could have done better but, who knows. Martin was first with a time o f 29:23 and Keaton was 2nd with a time of 31:21. Yeah that is right we swept that.


The summer has been going pretty well. It is hard to believe that there is less than a month left of summer. I still have to do all of my summer reading which SUCKS. The race season has been going well. A few weekends ago was Proctor cycling classic. Keaton and I loaded up the Mini van headed up there. The hotel we stayed at was pretty nice. We were right in the middle of Peoria. I didn't realize how big Peoria was. The RR didn't go so well. I was in the Race for about 30 mins or so and then on one of the rollers I just slowly moved back and before I knew it I was chasing to try to get back on and I couldn't make it back. So, I just dropped out after a lap. The next day we (keaton, Martin, Logan and I) race the Jrs crit. We were all working to try to get Logan the state jersey. The pace started out FAST. I was kinda going off after a few laps and was acctualy off but with a couple other guys we were able to get back on. I was sitting on the back when I saw a visionquest making a move. So I jumped on that chasing it down and after he was back in, I was done. I got shelled right of the pack. I finished the race riding with like 3 other guys. Logan ended up gettin the Jersey so its all good.


I didn't get a chance to race the 4's race because my cleat broke like 10 mins before the start of the race.

Winghaven was two weeks before proctor. The weather was nasty. It was drizzling the whole morning. Which made it even worse than if it had just poured. The road was like ice. The 5's race started about and hour or so late. I went down in the first 30 seconds of the race in the first round about. Some idiot in front of me hit is breaks when he didn't need to and started fishtailing and went down. I couldn't get around him and went down. I didn't feel like racing anymore after crashing and I just dropped out.

The summer is going pretty good. I am looking forward to the State crit in two weeks and then the tour of KC in 3.

PEACE
