A bad day, that is. And, dammit if I didn’t have mine today. My legs were having none of it today, zip, zilch. Ok, I did do some work on the front but I didn’t feel like I contributed enough. It just wasn’t meant to be for me, but the past is the past now and I have to look forward to tomorrow’s nasty and daunting Sunset RR. In all the year’s that I have been coming to Redlands (this is my 6th year here), this stage has kicked my butt, BUT tomorrow will be different, I am sure of it. Right. Let’s hope anyway.

A big positive from today’s crit is that Kori kept the green jersey and, since there are no points on the line tomorrow, it is secure. And Brenda got us a top 10. Well done. Now we’ll go in kicking and screaming tomorrow to get ourselves into the decisive break that we keep missing.

Buenos noches.
