This past weekend was Rocky Mount stage race, just outsde of Shrieveport, LA. We stayed with Russ, one of Nathans buddies. Thanks to Russ and Shana for the food and hospitality! I had a great time. It was a womens open race, the roadrace was saturday morning, bright and early. 8:05am, still very chilly! But it went well, just sat in and rode, got the 7 sec hot spot. One girl was off the front for a lap, but she was back towards the end of laps 3. The pace actually picked up on the third laps, when people actually decided they wanted to bring her back. So by the end of the third lap I think thre were about 10 of us for the last stretch. Sat 4th with 1K to go then 3rd, then 2nd and at about a 100m to go I went for the win! Yes, I won a road race. :) So I was 10 sec infront of 2nd and like 20 or so infront of 3rd. After the boys got done, we headed back to Russ' to rest a bit before the TT. I was pretty neverous going into the tt, knowing I havnt figured out how to TT yet. Havnt had any very succsessful TT's yet... but, I went out, did all I could, but it wasn't enough. 3rd place(Milissa) took first and I got bumped back to 3rd :( The crit was Sunday morning, chilly, once again. Got the 5 sec hot spot and sat i again. Kind of a non exciting race, no real attacks or anything. On the last lap, I was thinking of going early to try to make up some time and move into second. Yet, I've never been successful off the front by myself..so I decided to just stay in for the sprint. Came around the last turn 2nd, and went with about 150m to go. I won the stage, yet did not make enough time to move up in GC at all. So I came out of the weekend with 2 stage wins, 3rd GC, and some cash, not bad.(3 seconds short of 2nd and 12 short of 1st.) I'll get 'em next time.. :)
