Pre-Race Report - Madera

By Lula

I will send my report later today, when......

my forearms feel better from the sunburn,...

my shoulders relax from the "shake your booties" part of the race,...

my neck and back relax from the TT position that was so wrong that I was feeling like I was going up to the sky instead of forward on the road (my bars came up to mynose,literally),...

my buttocks relax from the small but hard fall I took when pre-riding the TTcourse along with my lovely team-mate called Monica, who first words after my fall were: "howcute your little bag"....- you don't wanna miss that -

All in all, I was happy with my racing, TT a part and a crash at the Crit right in front of me. On the GC I finished 9th and I was happy that I stayed with the lead pack all the way to the finish at the RR, finishing in 5th. And the weather.... Let me tell you this, I liked it! Gorgeous and hot!!!!! just the way I likeit.. Can you see my happy face?!?!?!
