Jefferson Cup

I'll quickly post about Jeff cup just to put them in correct order. To be honest, serious training for me started only a number of weeks prior to this race. We had a number of Coppi members in the race that I figured were in better shape than I and my goal was to help them when needed and sprint at the end if I had it.

Our race was 4 laps of a 10 mile closed course loop. The loop had 3 turns and a decent hill directly after turn 1. It was a moderately windy day to boot. Long story short, each lap I was slowly worn down. I made sure I stayed in the top 20 for almost the entire race. Lap 4 really sucked for me but I hung on. I tried to go for the sprint but knew I didn't have it and sat up for a pack finish. Yes that's not like me, I know. I beat myself up a little afterwards about it and didn't really tell anyone. Will make sure not to do that next time. 48th? ew. =)
