It was amateur hour over here:
Wore my Assos winter gloves at the start, my hands froze 2 laps in, and I had to pit for some warmer ones. That was the end of my race.
STOEMERIK!!
On a related note:
I’m proud of the Vanilla team. Kevin Hulick had a dead last start and muscled his way up into 4th place in the 35+ race. Solomon had a solid ride snagging 18th and Shannon dominated the scowling old bastard award in the Elite race.
Go team!
I thought you had a great race at nationals – it is even more impressive now that i know that you pitted for gloves. Make sure you are prepared for Belgian weather when you come over. It is freezing over here.
Ah…
Thanks Christine.
It was a rookie move, I was fine during all of the warm up laps and pre riding. I guess the temps dropped or something…
We will see how well I am going this week in Antwerpen!
