1st training race

Well, I just got back yesterday from a team ride the whole weekend, but I had a ton of fun! I also had my 1st training race! I mentored other races prior to my race (pro/1/2/3), which was fun and got miles in.

So, we started the pro/1/2/3 race very good and I went off the front a few times...great workout though. The race was coming down to a sprint and it was 1/4 lap lap left and I was sitting about 12 guys back. Except after getting around the 2nd to last turn, my seat drops down, which doesn't help at all! I try to fix it, but can't due to the massive speed that we were going. I got out of the last turn about 10th place (little far back), but I tried the sprint but didn't have any energy left...plus, my seat was still messed up. I ended up not sprinting and finished about 30th.

Good race, good workout = January racing.

My coach was able to find out was wrong, and I fixed it right away so that it won't happen again!

Great weekend! Thanks for reading!
