Everyone has a bad day and this was definitley mine. I had a great start and finally was able to clip in right off the bat...but that was about all that went well. After slowly slipping backwards on the first climb followed by multiple crashes in the deep rutted powerdery descents...at least the crashes didn't hurt too bad, except for when my bike came crashing down on top of me. Followed by more lose of places, followed by more crashes.
What can one say other than it happens to everyone at some time or another. The heart rate doesn't respond, the legs don't respond, the brain doesn't respond. It becomes hard to focus and hard to stay motivated...all you can do is keep telling yourself not to give up and to finish the damn race! I know in the overall skeem of things 32nd isn't such a bad place, but when you feel like crap....it's a whole other story! But you have to pick yourself up, dust your self off and start all over again.
