Spring Classic Day 2

Yep, Sunday was pretty much the same as Saturday. Cold and windy, this picture was from Saturday at start time. The masters race Sunday started with the temp at 28 degrees. Take that Shadd, you guys were a bunch of sissies in Tulsa with 65 degrees!
The Masters race was much the same as yesterday. Pretty negative racing with the cold, wind, and a big hill.
Scott and I did the Masters Race and it was pretty mellow. We were both tired from Saturday's road race so the pace was good. That is until a few laps to go when some guys crashed fighting for the draft and took Scott down. Slow speed crash, lot's of bike damage, DNF for Scott. I ended up 5th. The legs are tired and I'm doing the 123 race in a few hours. Can I last 75 minutes?
So Scott was sitting in the van 15 minutes before the 123 race and bummed he couldn't race when Kevin Limpach from Omaha pokes his head in the wan and askes in Scott wants to race his bike. A quick fire drill later Scott's on the line. He then went on to have a awsome race, driving the pace most of the race while everybody else tried to hide from the wind.
As for me, I just hung on,
covered a few moves and finished 10th. Good training day.
Bring on the warm weather!
