Racing, Racing, and more Racing!

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I've been sick. I'm better now, but uuugghhh.

Lots to update so here we go!

March 22nd-DEL MAR #2 Great racing by the Swami's we were all over the front of the race. It was hard racing too- Toyota-U, HealthNet, Time, Successful Living, and many more great teams and riders were represented. Breaks were going all day and Swami's covered them all. Marc, Jose, and I made the final break but got outfoxed by Jose Garcia from Toyota-U. Our group got swept up on the last lap, but Sky pull it out in the sprint and picked up 10th. It was a preview of things to come!

March 23rd-ONTARIO. What do racers do on Easter? We got a bike race! Zack and I headed to Ontario. Not much to report. I got 8th in the Masters race, but had plenty left for the Pro/1/2 race. Zack and tried hard, but it came down to bunch sprint. Zack was 29th. Afterwards we put in some more training as penance for our riding!

March 28-30th-San Dimas Stage Race. SDSR is a big race for the Category 2's and Zack was pretty inspired. The big news was the return of Dana! Dana had been at both Del Mar Crits, but his knee was finally feeling good enough to do a race weekend. SDSR was an ambitious comeback, but Dana was up for the challenge. Dana had a solid TT and showed that he still had lots of fitness despite the time off. Zack had a tough TT, but finished in the group in the RR after attempting to bridge to the break. Both Zack and Dana were looking for a result in the final stage crit. The crit ended in a sprint with Zack and Dana both in the field. It was a tough weekend for Zack, but Dana rode extremely well for his first race back and again that was a preview of things to come. Zack's performance was short of what he hoped, but he too had a better ride to come.
