Battle of the Nobodies
Posted on August 29, 2008
Yesterday I got down to fiesta island and it was TT bike time again.
The field is slowly getting smaller as the Team in Training group keeps growing (odd!!). Well, the action started early and it started furious. James and Peter formed a 2-man break and it was pretty much over from there.
Once again I got caught in the back… but not just in the back… the back-back and that group trailed the lead pack for about 4 laps. We started with maybe 5 guys and by the time I cracked we had maybe 20. It was truly a “battle of the nobodies”.
I guess the break got caught with less than 1 lap to go, which was surprising to me.
My goal was to get a good interval workout and just get more used to riding hard on the TT bike. Well, I did work hard and I feel like I did what I had to do but I did not finish the workout.
We will see how things go next week when it really counts.

Now I know why I was getting toasted and did not really feel like sprinting at the finish of the last lap! We had to slow up and forgo the sprint as we ran into cars/traffic on the last turn. Afterward I turned around and saw…………Nothing! We ended up with maybe 12 guys and the next group was almost a 1/2 lap down!
