Took 1st at the Timpani Elite Cat 5 race Sunday morning. Short race, only 35 min long and flat and not too fast, the average was about 23.7 per Polar cycle computer. I stayed in the front for most of the race keeping an eye on the San Jose Race Team that was well represented. Also kept an eye on the laps board this time to verify the final lap. Last lap I dropped into my new 11 tooth cog and waited for a break. A Palo Alto rider sprinted just before the 4th corner on the outside. I bolted, looking for a wheel to grab to the finish but ended up passing everyone. Made it to the finish by a length in a half and flew my arms up way after the finish line, a little bit in disbelief. Reached a new max H.R. at 179, won a metal, and validated to my wife and son all the training. I’ll bring the gold to the next meeting. Hope everyone is doing well and I am looking forward to the next ride..
