Last weekend was Mineral Well's and it was a good race, I raced the juniors and Day 1 was insanely easy. We only averaged 18mph. So it came down to a sprint finish, and the funniest thing happened with about 2miles to go a kid tried to break away and with nothing around on his own he flipped over his bike and landed on his head, it was so funny. But anyways with about 200m to go i sprint off and won by a couple of seconds. Day 2 was a lot harder we averaged 21 so we picked it up a little. The climb was crazy too thats were i got dropped but there were only two up the road and every one else was dropped way off the back. When i came to the top of the climb i kicked it up a gear and tried as hard as i could to try and catch them before the finish. I ended up third, not to bad though a 1st and a 3rd.
This weekend was Rocky Mount stage race in Louisianna, this aswell was a good weekend. The road race was on Saturday, and it was a lot of fun but hard, i raced the 4's. It was a 54 mile race with a brutly last hill, the race up until that point was pretty easy it was an attack fest though, which was stupid. But when we came to the top of the hill one guy attacked which is what i was waiting for sort of, but i had some shifting problems when he attacked. This kind of paosed me a little, but i didn't worry about it and just standed in the gear i was in, but that little pause caused me to loose out on finishing top 5, but i was able to hold on to 7th. The time trial was later that day, i was really tired but ready to give it my all and gain as much time as possible. The time trial was straight into the wind then the way back was a tail wind the whole way. It was a 4 mile time trial and i rode a 10:09 which is really embarassing but hey im not the time trial type, so i wasn't that disappointed. I was really waiting for the crit the next day, and man was i ready. The crit had a break in it about half way through and i wasn't sure if i was going to go with it or not, but i did anyway. Luckily it stuck to the end and it ended up being a sprint finish. We came aroung the last corner and the sprint was on. I was tied for third going into the sprint, and i kind of got boxed by that guy well not really but i got pushed into the outside corner and there was a guy in front of me, so i had to move quickly get around them, once i got passed them two there was only one more guy to get. I was in my smallest gear but i just couldn't go any fast. I mean i caught up to him but i couldn't pass him in time. So i ended up second and 6th overall. So i guess i couldn't say it was a good weekend.
