tour of elk grove

the second stage of the tour of elk grove was a 160km road race, which was basically a 160km crit, there were over 260 turns in the race and far out it was epic, it was one of the hardest road races i have ever done, constantly on the brakes, accelerating, by the last couple of laps on was getting tired, then i got chopped into a curb with about 8km to go, and that was the last i saw of the front group!! my legs were bloody rubbish as it was, really really struggling to get the power down and was on struggle street for most of the day so was just nice to get to the finish for me really!
the last stage crit went well, josh made the first break, and hayden placed 15th in the final kick, my legs were still absolutely crap, and made it about a 3rd of the way through before the elastic snapped for me out of the hairpin and it was game over. back to the drawing board i think and a few easy days and hopefully these legs of mine will get back to doing what they are supposed to do!
