I wimped out today and did not try the Gator Ride in Baytown. It was 56 degrees this morning when I would leave and the threat of a 20 to 30 mph north wind kept me home and inside doing chores. By afternoon the sky was a nice blue and the temperature climbed to 72. I will ride tomorrow to make up for skipping today.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\nAfter Walburg, I was even more excited for the second road race of the season, Pace Bend. I had done a triathlon in the same park last semester, but I was in worse shape then, so I remembered mountains instead of the little climbs.<\/p>\n

I was pleasantly surprised when I drove through the park to the parking area. After my first ever road race last year (Texas State RR Championships), I was pretty demoralized coming in over 5 minutes off the back of the winning group. This is relevant because in that race, again in much worse shape, I got dropped on a climb 8 miles in and then chased hard with zero success until the end, knowing I had no chance as soon as I was dropped. After that, I made it a point to climb a lot…<\/p>\n
