What a rush!!!
Had a nice weekend away in Okinawa apart from the terrible weather on Saturday, when I was lashed by horizontal rain during my training ride

I can't complain though because the weather was perfect for cycling on Sunday.
Came 6th overall and 1st in my age group

I raced in the 140km course with 400 riders, so I'm very happy with my result but was a bit disappointed I couldn't go with the final escape of the day. I stayed with the leaders up until the final climb of the day, and after summiting regrouped with 3 other riders and although we could see the 5 escapees we couldn't reel them in. We worked so hard doing turns at the front and with me shouting encouragement we were definitely making up ground. With about 5km to go and on my limit I touched someone's back wheel and almost went over....thankfully I was in the drops and was able to recover....what a nightmare that would've been. Anyway it sure was a blast though and I won the sprint in my group of 4, only 20 seconds or so behind the winners......so close!!!!
We averaged 33.8km/h which is pretty quick considering the amount of climbing, 2000m!
I'll be back next year to win
I saw Clay after the race and he seemed to think he finished mid pack in the 210km race. They were flying!
