Weekly Beatdown

And what a beatdown it was. It'll be a few weeks before the next race and I wanted to put in some real work. I tried to stay on the front as much as possible. I didn't push the pace too hard, but I sat in the wind, and about 2/3rds of the way in I was really feeling it. I even tried to catch the leader on Sawnee Mountain, which is like a 5-way step-up, but I misjudged which step we were on. I make that particular mistake a lot actually, you'd think I'd learn. I briged up, but with the additional, unexpected step, I couldn't hang. No matter though, my objective was to break myself off, and that I did, in spades.
