ouch...

Iowa City road race: DNF.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad day all around. I didn't have the fitness or the mental strength. I failed.

The next two weeks will contain many pain filled sessions to make up for lost training time this last month and especially for the poor performance at Iowa. I am pretty angry with myself. I rationalized what I did prior to the race and I never want to let myself get into a situation like that again. I took my last few results for granted. I ignored the signals at GD#2.

I know what I needed to work on, yet I didn't. I earned that DNF.

Next race: Monsters of the Midway May 17

I'll be training hard for this one. I have not finished out of the top 10 in a crit. This one, I'm going for the win. I will be training to win it.
