Today was a Time Trial in the morning and a Criterium in the afternoon. Yesterday's Road Race around Mt Bachelor and Cascade Lakes was the toughest race I have done to date. There is a heat wave in Bend, OR right now! 95 degrees average in this elevation has me fighting against my body physiologically! I finished the Road Race however, the TT went awesome, and the Crit was hard. It's just not my style of riding, but that's why I am here....to get stronger.
Time to recover now and the last stage tomorrow morning is the Circuit Race. 67 miles and 4,000 ft of climbing.
