Feeling Hot

Yes it's that hot, and super humid as well. I think everyday of June has been 90+ degrees. However, if I recall from last year, July was not as hot as June. Hopefully that is the case. I'm going to go the Avery Trace Road Race and the Cookeville Crit this weekend. Both races are notoriously hot. The Road race is probably the one race that I have done multiple times and not had any luck. In 2005 I sucked that year and puked on top of the first climb and got dehydrated. In 2006, I face-planted on the first descent. Half my face was gone after that. Many people still come up to me and tell me how they remember seeing my race with a half missing face. It's very cool to know that people still remember that. The most recent edition of the race, 2009, I flatted a mile from the 3rd and steepest climb. As I was chasing back on, I dropped my chain. With stupid SRAM, I had to get off the bike and put it back on. Race over. Needless to say I have never had any luck with that race. Honestly, even if I had good luck on that race, I would probably still suck. It finishes on a steep, 1k climb. I may be skinny, but I suck at hills, I can fake it on the hills leading up to that last climb, but on that last climb there is no faking it. So why am I going you ask? 2 of my teammates are 1,2 in the Tbra cat 2 standings, honestly, they are owning the points race. I am going to support them, and get in a good work out. I was fitted on Wednesday morning and immediately noticed a huge difference. There is a 1.5 centimeter length difference in my legs, And I had been riding with no shims or anything like that. Needless to say, once I got some shims in it made all the difference. Hopefully the crow can put in a good ride, maybe get in the break or get a team mate the win, we will. I will post a race recap either Saturday night or Sunday after the Crit.
