This will be a quick post. The MERCO RR was 200K!! That's a long race. Sometimes you can get bored during a long race, but seriously this thing would not end!!! Brief synopsis: Race was hard for 100k (but not too bad). Entire field decided to chill for food and a pee stop at halfway. Jose, Sky, and I were refueling and the break went; 25 guys...no Horner. Everyone looks to Horner to chase. Horner says whatever. Break pulls out insurmountable lead. Field starts racing again with 10k to go. Race finishs (there we'rent any places left. And that's bike racing.
Zack was doing the Cat 2 race and looking good. He made the break. Zack's exuberance turned out to be his enemy. After a few too many hard pulls Zack cooked himself and the break left him behind. Ouch. Good news for Zack; he made the break, he's riding strong, and he looks good in the new kit. Bad news; missed out on a top 7 placing worth valuable upgrade points. Zack was bummed, but he's got plenty of results in him. We all commented that you only make the mistake (working to hard in the break) once!
Zack in the Break
Jose and Horner >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Horner dropped out soon after. So We all beat Horner which means Sky, Jose, and I can all finish top 16 in the Tour ..... Right?
