Winter Series #2, 42kms GMS
6 weeks since I started rehab on my achillies.
Anyway Race #2, I wasn’t the strongest, I knew that, and it isn’t a handicap so I don’t have to work or blow myself up. I rolled a few turns, then sat on the back, left the front roll off, until an attack on a berg, and went with 5 others we stayed away until 2km to go. Stayed 3-4th wheel. With a block headwind, anda slight uphill finish I wanted to go on the inside out of the wind, and last 50m. One rider went, next went, and I went with him, out of the saddle, right in his slipstream, last 20m, came out and around. And Tick. First win of the season. I wasn’t the strongest today but raced smart. Conserved as much energy as possible.
