Another mediocre finish for 5th at the Draper CritBig thanks to Chrispy for pulling off the come from behind ride on the last stage of the team relay to take the win for Team Porcupine/Specialized in the E100 relay. He came from 18 minutes down and beat the guy by over 7 minutes at the finish, unbelievable! So we got our T-shirt and first place medal along with a great Budweiser hat for the win. Wow Boris must like taking home all that money! $275 per team and $100 per 50 mile racer adds up to a lot of cash with almost zero going out in prizes. I was a bit dissapointed with the awards. I placed fifth at a crit that costs $20 and recieved $30 in cold hard cash.
The Draper crit was great fun. I am happy to hang on for the finish after killing myself that morning in the relay. I hope my legs are finally back to what they were in April because I got some racing left in me. Congrats to DH and the Team for pulling off yet another win in the 1/2's with DH lapping the group and winning the field sprint.
The legs are super sore today so I took the day off. I think I will take tomorrow off also and hit the RMR on Tuesday and the Hillclimb on Thursday night. I have some points to make up after missing some racing while in the armpit called Reno.
