I did my first Collegiate road race of the year last weekend down at Murray State in Kentucky. It went pretty well. It took me about 3 miles to warm up then I was feeling pretty good. We had three 16 mile laps (48mi). Lap one was pretty clam. Lap 2 there was a pretty intense attack on a painfull climb. This blew the pelaton in half. I was able to answer and stay in the main group. A few miles later Indiana University put in an attack and about five riders got out front before the rest of there riders put in a block of the field. I sat in the main pelaton for lap 3 and they put in another attack on the same hill blowing the field even more. I answered and made it over the top with the group that was left but slowly started to fade and ended up off the back in no mans land for the last few miles. There were riders scattered. I was pretty happy with my overall race seeing I have only about 10 hours of riding in so far. I hadn't even done a training ride over 30 miles yet. The weather was rain/snow and about 33 degree's. It was nice to get that over. Above is my new bike that I just finished building up. Full black naked carbon. To bad i didn't have it for Kentucky.
