PIR, 26-May-2009

Made it out to PIR tonight.  It was a good one.

I went back to the 1/2/3 race to pick up where I left off two weeks ago.  That is, to try to position myself to contest the sprints.

I intended to go for some of the intermediate sprints tonight, but it was so fast out there, I could barely hold on sometimes.  It's times like those when I ask myself why I'm even out there, but then I realize everyone is hurting as I am, and it slows down a notch for recovery.  It's very hard and painful sometimes, but that's really what I need out there.  I can ride comfortably on my own!

I should probably be bummed I didn't finish in the points, but it was a tough race and I did some good things out there that I'm happy about.  I was in a break for a lap (for some reason), I bridged up to another move, and my acceleration is coming along.  So it's not all bad. 

Team Land Rover made the race really fast tonight.  Nice job.  Shannon Skerritt rode a MTB, complete with fat knobby tires.  I'd heard of him doing it before, but I'd never seen it until tonight.  Classic.
