Inauguration

I raced my first criterium on Ex-Girlfriend yesterday in Carondelet Park. It both crushed me and exhilirated me.

I did not puke, wreck, or come in last, but I did over-estimate my fitness level. Just because I can go tootle along the levee 30+ miles a few times a week doesn't mean I'm in racing condition.

The other girls were also fucking brickhouses on the bottom. Huge asses and thighs. The beginning of the race was downhill, and it was easy to see all the other racers accelerating faster than me on the declines. But I caught up on the uphill each time.

I am not deterred, and will def race again. I'm most looking forward to a run/bike event coming up in April, and then in May I will be able to join the weekly Tuesday night series.

There was another race in Forest Park today, but I was pretty exhausted. Went out late last night, then with the time change this morning, didn't even wake up until nearly eleven.
