WOW long time
I was checkin out the old web blog and saw that my last post was july 8th, ouch…major apologies for anyone who might want to know what is going on. The honest truth is more has gone on since I last wrote than has happened since…well since qualificaion for the games. I moved into a new place with my wife to be and we have been painting and hanging and cleaning and cooking and doing all those things involved with a new place. I have also done BC super week, elk grove and the Charlotte criterium. This is a list of the some of the richest racing all year. And for me all the activity has pushed me over a lip and bounced me off of what I hope has been the rock bottom of my season.
The tour de white rock and tour de delta are two events I always enjoy coming back to. For me they sort of mark what started my professional career it was these races where I first raced beat and got hammered by some of Canada’s and North Americas best pros. This year I got a chance to be a work horse for my team mate Ryan who was on fire. It was good to just hit the front and ride hard. The rest of the week held little luck for me. I missed the crowed prime in white rock by .02 of a second and I was caught after being in a solo break for 10 laps with 300 m to go in the race…then in the road race an unfortunate miscomunication lead to the tour de Whiterock race basically being nullified when I was in a chase group on the heels of the eventual winner.
From there things in terms of form have gone down hill. I had a good ride in the prologue of elk grove for 5th but the wheels came off the wagon shortly after and I basically held on for the remainder of the 2 days.
I took an easy week and started the Charlotte crits this weekend. The legs were a little better but still not great. But I was able to contribute somewhat…although I still take responsibility to for the collapse of our lead out in the Hanes park crit (sorry jake) It has been the first time all year I have not been really dangerous when I put the pedel down. But it was to be expected I guess. I have held a pretty good form all year even with crashes and injury. I think I am on an up swing though…lets hope so I only have 5 more days in august I am not racing.
