I went and did the State Criterium championship race about 2 hours ago. I still feel comfortable skills-wise going 27 miles an hour with a bunch of guys, but I lack terribly in speed and I'm about 20 pounds away from anything like an efficient racing weight. I was dropped like the fat boy that I am. In the 4s, no less. I got got dropped REAL quick (after trying to stay in the top 10 the first 3 laps).
I just need to work hard for a month and see where that gets me by the Gateway races.
Don't feel bad, my legs cramped up today like Cameron's hand around a candy bar and thus I only went 85 miles. The only good news is I rode really strong up until then.
