June 26, 2011 Masters 123
I signed up to do the full http://www.tourofamericasdairyland.com/ in the Masters 123. This week has been a lot of fun! It has been a long time since I have raced this much (Thanks Love!). I ended up 7th overall in my age group so I was pretty happy. It is clear that I need to work on my sprinting for next year.
The capital course in Madison was the place I did my first crit about 21 years ago at the badger state games. I have raced this course many times of the last years so I know how it usually ends up….a sprint. I have had luck in the past attacking just before the last lap, and this was my plan. I gave it a go but was caught by a 9 guys after the last corner. I was suffering to turn over the cranks for that last 100 yards.
Again, I used the data screen setup from http://www.biketelemetry.com. I did not turn off the sound so you will need to turn down your volume.
Give 20-30 secs to queue up.
