All of the B races go today. I guess it gives racers and the promoters a chance to check things out before the races for the stars and stripes jerseys start. This year I thought I would give the 40+B race a try as a prep for my big race. I was more than a bit nervous as I didn't want to be blown for tomorrows race. I started with the plan that if I wasn't in position for the podium I would pull the plug and save my energy. The race started and I got the lead and felt good. I had a decent lead when the cramps started on the 2nd lap. Soon is was decision time, do I continue and tear up my legs or bag it. I decided to stick it out and in hind site I made the wrong decision. Even though I hung on for 3rd by legs are so tight my back keeps seizing up. Right now I'm 50/50 on weather I'll be able to race tomorrow. I race at 3pm a lot can happen by then.
KCCX Day 1: The day of the killer B's.
At least I made a good decision and only made a mess of one bike and one set of wheels. The course started out muddy/greasy in the morning but my our 3pm race most of the course dried up and was tacky. Looks good for the rest of the weekend. See ya out there.
