Cycling (Road) 30:00 [2]
weight:181lbs
AM: Warmup/dn.
Cycling race (Road) 43:00 [4]
Tour of St. Louis stage 3: Forest Park crit. I did better in the TT than I thought: 4th, moving me to 6th in the overall (behind the 5 guys who stayed away in the morning). With a pretty good gap both in front and behind, it fell to me to control the field for Joe and Rex (sitting in 2nd and 4th), both of whom wanted everything to stay together.
Lots of hammering on the front. Sometimes I'd join the break and sit on, other times I'd let them get 15 seconds up and then bring the field up. Must have crossed at least 10 gaps. It was fun to just hammer like that and not worry about results. Being on the front did payoff somewhat - I closed down a break 100m before the line on a prime lap and just went right by them to take the prize. Chased back the last break with 200m to go, so obviously had nothing for the field sprint. Finished at the back of the pack, but kept 6th in the overall.

After the race, I did a long control picking course at Forest Park (1:10).

PM: STL Hash #1170. Was pretty much dogging it, but it was good to see all the hashers again. BBQ after the run may have an unwanted impact on tomorrows G reading.
