Weekend Recap

We went to Seven Springs to train for the race on Friday. We got late start because one of out team mates came from out of town and was stuck in traffice. Our late start was further pushed back because some people just fart around too much. If you are going to show up for a group ride, have your shit together, you just make others wait. Our group split up at the top as one rider had to put his lights one. Having not previously put his lights on, he had difficulty mounting his helmet light. Again, do not wait until a group ride to figure out how to mount your equipment. This put the second group 1/2 hour behind the main group. Two out of the three in the second group got lost on the course and this set them back an additional 1/2 hour. By the time they got back it was too late to do another lap. One of the riders in that final group had my helmet light and I needed it for my lap, so I couldn't take off without it. In all, I was dissapointed by only doing one lap, but I was happy with my performance. My team though is very undertrained. I am hoping we do 10 laps in the race.

I had a family wedding on Saturday. It was very fun to see the family. I did spend some money though and I drank too much.
