State Champ
Ok , I know I said I wasn't going to
update for a while. And I guess that is true. But I had a minute this afternoon
and I'd thought I'd post something. I won the MN state road race championship on
Saturday. It was an uphill sprint in the end out of a group of about 12. I've
never won this race, so it was very satisfying for me to finally put that in the
bag. It really is a shared victory with my Nature Valley/Penn Cycle teammates.
The reason I'd never won this race before is that I had always been outnumbered
by Flanders or GP. But this year we brought a full slate of green guys and kept
the race under control to set me up for the sprint finish. Thanks go to AJ, Matt
M, Micah, Sickboy, Ian, Mean Dawg and Dano. Everyone gave what they could and it
worked out well. I'm proud of our team this year. I think we are really starting
to understand each other, and the way these MN races play out. Our A team has
won the state champ TT and RR titles, the Opus team title, a slew of RR's, Crits
and TT's, and Dano is leading the rider of the year competition at this point.
Next week is the State Championship criterium. Originally I hadn't planned on
going, but I think I might be able to swing it. We'll see. Ok, that's all for
now...
