Doesn't look like I was too excited on the podium at Bonelli. Somehow I finished 4th despite quitting the race at the end of the first lap. I worked really hard (and carefully) to get some good fitness going just for this race and was determined to give Sid a run for it. I was rested and motivated. I even made it around the first lap with the front group and wasn't physically blown, but mentally something wasn't there. I sat up and watched my last goal for the season ride away from me. But I couldn't decide where I should pull off the course so I kept pedaling. I wasn't racing but I also wasn't stopping, and a few weird laps later I finished the thing.
So no big celebrations for me going into the off season. I still consider myself fortunate, lucky, and blessed to have experienced the great year I had racing bikes. Now I just need to figure out how to relax and enjoy some time away from it.
