Today's adventure took us to Appleton Wisconsin for the third stage of ToAD. The course was a classic four corner crit, very similar to Blue Island. It turned out to be a really face race (word on the street was about a 25 mph average); what it wasn't was an interesting race. By no means am I complaining about the course its just sometimes races are kind of boring.
Now here's what happened: First we turned left, then we turned left again, and again and again, then we crossed the start finish, we did this for about 50 mins, at high speeds, and we cornered well a nice change of pace from the previous two days. I continued my attempted to tail gun each lap, struggled on the last lap and wound up 34 out of 50 something. Bryan held his position mid pack all day crossing the line 16th. All and all good day and on to the road race tomorrow.
Highlights from today
1) Somewhere around lap 5 or 6 a old man walked into the middle of the course, and the field refused to slow. The man stayed out of the pack but I really thought he was going to walk right into the group and wreck each and everyone of us.
2) On the Giro Havik prime lap the announcer mentioned that it looked like Jared of xXx really wanted those glasses, he even said that he thought Jared should jump for the prime. As we came across the line Jared won the prime sprint.
Should have more to report later in the week.
