Good: got there on time
Bad: allergies nuts (yep, been takin the stuff). woke up 4 lbs heavy and bloated...started peein it all out though. good whiz in the porta john right before the start
Good: lost 4 kilos for this race. 40watts stronger than last year. confident.
Bad: peed out the last lb while standing on the start line. took two laps for that shoe to dry out.
Good: in the first ten first time up the hill (last year: 6 minutes of 39x25...this year: about 5:15 of 39x19...faster, fitter field).
Bad: juniors and college kids gunned it. into the 17 cog. doof slips back back back back back
Good: Doof gets back on with some other non-climbin bros.
Bad: Doof knows if the kids gun it again, he's toast. as long as doof is at threshold, all things are good. doof can't go over it though....
Good. next two time up the hill are good. doof even gets nice and pushes a junior bro up and over, and tows him back on (this kid works at the shop doof gets his stuff from...dudes remember that crap...)
Bad: the youngins gun it with two laps to go. doof goes back...only 24 guys are left from 60...doof chases...passes five guys who got dropped...doof gets within 10 sec...can't get back on...doof time trials for the last lap with the field at 30-40 seconds...just enough to keep em in sight...doof is toast....
Good: it was warm and doof raced without arm warmers or any other junk (and was the only nut in his field to do so).
Bad: jeesh. kids. now, doof doesn't race with gizmos. no hrm. never the power tap. not even a watch. what's the point? you're either there or you're not...the gizmos are for training. one small consolation: doof's bud from Southern Pines NC was racin with his gizmo. doof's bud was the only dude over 35 to stay with the first group. bro is waaaay into his gizmo, downloadin it when doof rolls up to the dudes RV...dude weighs the same as doof...dude look at the graph...dude was gettin 4.5 watt/kilo avgs the two fast times up the hill. ok. if doof has to get 4.5 w/k at threshold to get top 10 in a 4 race...geesh...kids suck. kids are fast. doof either needs mr. whoopie's wayback machine, liposuction, or epo....
Good: doof will get those 68 kilo squirts in a flat race...lemme at em...please....
