The season grinds to an end in a few weeks. I have only two more weekends planned (Chattanooga and Alcoa). Both of which are not really what I would call ideal for me to get a result. I am feeling really good, maybe I can sneak something in….

Here is a photo of me in full chase mode after getting gapped by the guy that just turned off the course in front of me. This is about 3-4 laps to go in the Masters 30/40+ crit. At the end of the 2nd crit out in the hot blacktop, I was feeling it.
