Another chilly day in this part of the world. Team Columbus put on this week's Heuston Woods race and OVR's version will be next week. This time around we did the course clockwise which I've never done before. I think that way is actually harder. The rollers aren't as steep, but they seem longer. It looked like about 30 or so riders started the 3/4 race. I felt really good up until one of the rollers on the 2nd lap (of 6) where I cramped, yet again. I'm not understanding this. I'm cramping in places where I've never cramped before, as well as all the usual places! Not wanting to DNF like last week, I kept going and eventually hooked up with Bret of Darkhorse and a MOB Squad rider and we short pulled our way around the loop a couple more times. The MOB rider stopped with one lap to go and Bret and myself finished the race pulling each other along. I'm glad he was there or else I probably would have ditched from the cramping.
Another day, another called off race. Today's St Leon race was cancelled due to "miscommunication" whatever that means. That makes three races so far this year that I've scheduled that has been cancelled (well, I self cancelled one time trial due to freezing rain!)
Next up, Heuston Woods....AGAIN!
