There was a big difference in speeds between the front group(1-13) and the group of 18 sprinting for 14th.

I was in the front group initially after the major selecton happened the second time up the climb and it was very hard to be there. The third time up the climb I just got popped in the last 200m (steep part) of the climb and couldn't catch back on. I rode around with my team mate Thad Dulin, Kirk Obee and Tom Zirbel in no man's land as the second group was 7 minutes behind us four. We were caught before the 4th climb by a group of 20. I couldn't believe how much easier the second group was to ride in compared to the 1st. Health Net was setting tempo up the climb in the now second group on the road and I never got out of my comfort zone. I worked a lot on my climbing before this race and shed some extra pounds too..

We rode around for anther lap and started racing and attacking each other coming into the finish line (we did not do any small laps). I am happy with 26th but I would not be as happy if I wasn't in that front group initially. It was really cool to actually be at THE front of the race if only for a lap. Oh yeah, I broke a wheel before the third climb... slowest wheel change ever too, not an excuse but was def a pain in the *** as it happened on the run in to the third climb. That is the third AC 420 rear wheel I have broken this season.

Those things break easily. I really miss the ADA's ALOT.

I had to do an extra 5-8 min of Lactate Threshold chasing back on after the wheel exchange. I then had another 5 min to recover before the climb. It MIGHT have effected my performance but that is all part of bike racing.

Is your team sponsored by AC? Also, what Peg frameset is that? Steel or AL?

Thanks!

Just curious.

PS - Congrats on the terrific ride!!

[shinomaster]

Wow either them wheels are crap or you are a manimal!

Chasing back on to me may be more impressive than your actual placing. Either way, WOW!
