#263: Tulsa Tough – Sat.
Another day, another so-so result. 54th. I felt pretty good, but couldn’t move up far enough in the end and ended up in the back of the diminished field.
The race played out much like last year with a few random crashes thrown in for good measure. Unfortunately, Frogge was mixed in one with about 3 to go and that essentially ended his race (just a bit scuffed up). There isn’t much else to say about this race other than I just couldn’t get it done. Tomorrow’s race will be a first time course for me since the Sunday race was stormed-out last year for Cat 3. The hill will either be good for me or be the source of my demise. The average power numbers for the crit today were pretty low (compared to other races), so it wasn’t a lack of fitness, but just a lack of positioning and opportunity (or failure to take such opportunities).
