So february was filled with doubt, angerm frustration, and ultimately lessons learned. Got into PT at http://www.rehabunited.com and am on a good path not 100% but close!
After missing the first 2 races of the season I was pumped to race the RacersNChasers winter series finally!
Sun was out my body was feeling good and my nerves were def saying "welcome back to racing" Robert was on his moto leading out the race and I hit the gas from the start and got the whole shot into the woods Race Start Vid
Once I had good position I sat up and let others take over the work at the front. I sat in 4th over the top of teh first climb and once back down I was in no mans land btween a lead group of 3 and the 5-6 rider deep chase pack... on the flat back to teh start/finish I was caught by the chase group... 2nd lap I knew hammering the climb wasn't gonna get me back up to the leaders as they were too far out now so I recruited another rider to try and break away from the chase group on the climb and work together to stay away. I worked and I took 4th overall and 2nd in 30-39. Was a really fun race and gave me a ton of confidence that I can hang with the leaders!
After the race was a nice little rest week with a "fitness test" up Mnt Soledad was feeling ok... and the numbers didn't lie the legs were better then last time. Beat my PR by 45sec!
From there it was straight to the redeye and off to Boston for the weekend, got in a gym spin friday and a uber fun COLD as hell ride with Joe Saturday
