So blue

One team that definitely wasn't underrepresented today was QCW (guys in blue). Not that it made a huge difference in my performance (this is a tale of defeat after all), but wow was it crazy. Two QCW guys got in a break and the rest of their about 20 people in the pack did a swell job blocking. I attacked a couple of times, but nobody was coming with and QCW killed it pretty quick.

Definitely learned some tactical lessons today, and built up a lot of confidence in maneuvering through a peloton. Actually nervous about some of the other riders around me crossing around whenever they felt and such.

Saw 3 crashes today. 2 in my race, 1 in the cat 1/2/3. They all sounded awful but didn't hear of anything too serious so hope everybody is okay.

Picture is of one of my futile attacks. If only I had Cancellara's legs...

Non-cycling news? I've been working my new job at Yell Adworks and it's pretty enjoyable. I've gotten some reputation for the weather reports I send out on the 8's (I have a window spot...). If you'd like a report of the current conditions at King of Prussia, PA let me know and I'll try to get you on the distribution list.

Godspeed.
