Awesome race yesterday! Loved the course, and we had great weather.

Good fun race with some very respectful climbs. I just wish I had the energy/strength to take 1st - 3rd place :-). The bottom line is that I need to train harder! Still waiting for a Cat 5 top 3 finish before going Cat 4. Cat 3 is on the books for next season and work tactics for the team.

Terrible race. This course was made for me. Should've won. On to the next one...

Tough course for a big guy like me. Made several attempts to get in a break but nothing stuck and wasn't in the right spot when the winning break went. Made several attempts to bridge but again, didn't jump on the right train so I finished in the main pack - which wasn't much of a pack by the end. Finished somewhere in the top 20-25. Nothing to write home about but not bad considering I've been training less than 5 hrs a week.

A beautiful day with perfect cool weather and a fantastic course. Lots of familiar faces-for once there were four of us in a race (Joe, Blair, Steve and myself, maybe five if you count Isaiah Wallake who was flying our colors with some story about budgetary restraints and lack of long sleeve gear) and a big complement of my friends from Joshua Homes. First time up the hill was inexplicably fast. With two laps, saw lots of familiar faces perhaps feigning mechanical problems by the side of the road. Finished the race in a pack of four, well off the back. Was so sore when I got home I could barely move for rest of evening.

Great weather and a tough course. Felt strong on the climbs, but lost too much ground on the descends. Glad to fight and finish.
