Starting over... Kind of.

Well I have been in SLC for 2 weeks now. It has been a huge change for me with work because the last 9 years I have had a desk job and now I am working a physically demanding job. Training has been picking up a little more now that I am somewhat settled and I have gotten in a crit and a TT.
The crit was funny because there were about 35-40 guys and 20 of them were on the same team. I was obviously the only Feedback rider so I did what I could and chased every break I could. It was fun but I had no expectations since I didn't feel good all day and I knew every time I went after a break there would be 1-2 guys jump on my wheel from the 20 man team. I ended up 11th but have better expectations for the future once I get used to the work changes.
The TT was a 10k and was HOT. It was 98 when I went off and was extremely dry so the mouth instantly dried out. I arrived late so I only got about a 10 minute warm up so the legs were still pretty tight when I went off. I ended up 6th in the TT and again I have better expectations in the upcoming weeks once I get use to the physical work.

Talk to you all soon.

You need to stop eating cheeseburgers before a race. That's why you felt so bad.

You'll never learn
