so yea, it went well! the photo above shows me (in the red and yellow) off the front chasing down a solo rider. pretty amazing really considering my lack of training. I was expecting one of two scenerios, either I'd do nothing and sit in and suffer the whole time and maybe finish or I'd do an effort or two to try to help the team and then blow up about halfway through and call it a day. but thankfully I was able to contribute and finish! no result to speak of, I rolled in with the pack after a crash on the last lap split things up, but I managed to cover a few moves and chase a couple small breaks down and then still get back in the pack and recover! with an average speed of 28mph, for me right now, that's a successful race. hopefully I'll get a few more days of training in this month and get that high end back so that I can actually be a contender in the finale.

I'll post results when available. results posted here. looks like I got 49th... woohoo. plus see more photos from yesterday at the end of my cycling set on flickr here.
