| Mt. Hood Classic - Day 1
7150' climbing
Way too hot. Suffer-fest.
Got shelled early on second last climb - sprinted and managed to close the 200m gap. Cooled with water - stayed with peleton fine after that.
Final climb - no attacks but had to close the gap three times due to riders popping off left right and center. Less than a quarter of starting riders remained in the lead group over the top. Sprint started 400m out - couldn't follow.
Felt good surviving through that heat. |
