Yes I was indeed there for the 35+.. Getting there was the problem. My wife was not feeling well during the drive there, we almost turned around and went home when she had a panic/anxiety attack in the car. It really blows when this happens because all of my strength and focus gets sapped in making sure she's okay. It's happened before- I get to the race completely psyched out, thinking of too many of the wrong things at the start line.
It's little wonder that after a couple of hard laps off the front, the "field" of ten guys blew past me. I let a gap open- partly because I was tired, partly because I wanted to take care of my wife and go home.
I unregistered myself from the Pro race and symbolically hung my bike up when I got home. I need to take a week or two off to recharge the desire to train and race.
I'm in a little bit of a slump at the moment. No riding since Sunday- I'll prpbably take the whole week off- rain is coming anyway..
