Getting Schooled

Short report here. Two lessons learned this very young race season. First, arrive at the race in time to have an adequate warm-up. It makes a difference; your suffering is more effective. Second, don't fast on race weeks if you'd like to do well. I went up to do the first race in the Greenville, SC race series. GCF did our annual 30 hour fast Wednesday and Thursday prior to the race. For some reason I just didn't have much pop in my legs on Saturday. Can't imagine why. Also, I need to practice more SE intervals. I got popped off the back of the pack on a little surge and I just couldn't get back on.

This weekend, my second greenville race and the first GAP race of the new season. I'll be racing in Sport class for that and I'll get to eat a lot of better rider's dust at the Heritage Horse Park in Farmington. Hopefully though, I'll learn something there as well.
