A VERY Short Update

Ok, so not a lot of news lately, sorry for that. I’ve been extremely busy between planning our trips, traveling and racing… and the lack of internet access also didn’t help. So here’s the rundown on the last 3 weeks of racing.

First up: Mississippi Gran Prix. The weekend went ok but not as good as we had hoped. We finished 5^th, 6^th and 7^th in GC, Peter and I were in a break in the road race and got caught within the last 10 meters and we finished 2^nd in Team GC. All right but we had come there with higher goals…

Next: Matrix Challenge. On Saturday I ended up in the winning break but didn’t feel too good so I was hoping that the guys would bring it back so we could set up Andrew. Unfortunately that didn’t happen and I finished 4^th out of the 4-man-break… Sunday, we held it together for a sprint but Andrew got pinched in the last turn and couldn’t get the result we were hoping for, I think it was 6^th or so. Again not what we had hoped for.

Finally: Speedweek. We hopped in the van right after Matrix and drove the 17 hours to Baufort, SC for our first shot at one of the Speedweek crits. Considering the drive and the fact that the crit was one of the faster ones we did all right, Benji came in 13^th, Andrew 16^th and I finished 24^th. Yesterday we traveled on to Spartanburg, SC and the race itself felt a little better but the finish was a little sketchy and the best we could come up with was a 21^st place. Not too happy with that but we are all looking forward to tomorrow’s race. After an off day today we should be good to go and hot for the race.
