Friday July 21, 2006 Kenosha Superweek Race #8

After a couple easy days and a day off the bike I really felt great today. I was determined to make a break early in the race and planned to do as much leg breaking as possible. When the race started I was startled how fast the guys took off. I made it to the front within a lap and was there most of the race. I found myself in several breaks and normally they would have been great except the pace was really fast. When the race was paused so that an ambulance could help a spectator we had been averaging 26.5. I heard some one comment that they needed to get me off the front so that I would stop doing 30 mph pulls. The race resumed and back to the front. Last lap I was in great position until some Polack from Canada cut across the front of the pack causing me to slow a bit. At the same time there was an attack and I was caught off guard. I had a great sprint picking off many but ending up 11th.
