Thanks to the Speed Theory folks for putting on such a great event. I know that Trev put his heart into that race and while there were challenges, I think it was an awesome venue. The first day was going as planned until the flat at 23.3 Km into the TT. I looked back at my data on the Garmin and was at 28:13 at 20K and picking up steam when the back tire went limp. It kind of sucked as I hobbled back to the start leaning on the front handlebars just trying to not ruin my back rim. The CRIT was great and I was more than happy to place 5th. I have to admit that i was nervous on almost every corner and could not come into them with the speed required... hence being 5th. But nonetheless what a rush. As for the RR, that was great. The plan did not come together, but it was fun chasing the attacks and the vibe was out there. Thanks to the Speed Theory guys for thanking Team Niklas for doing 80+ percent of the pulling out there. Next race maybe not so much! :))
