CSC Invitational

CSC Invitational has come and gone. This was a tough one as only 8 amateurs were aloud in the entire race. Hekman and I were lucky enough to be chosen to take part of the 8 man "Composite All Star" team. They put Mark and I up in the Hyatt Regency (thanks Arlington Sports), which was super nice. Friday night we bounced out to have a quick peak at Washington DC and get some dinner. Saturday rolled around before we knew it and it was HOT. 100k on a 1k course, the temp was about 95 and sunny, and we were set for a 12:30 start. Our composite jersey was that of the Harley Davidson Team.. which is completely black...nice, make it hotter. Well needless to say I had a shit race. I tried to chill for the 1st part.. then moved up nicely and was feeling pretty good except I was on fire... I basically boiled over a little over halfway and came unglued at the seems. Apparently we had some people feeding us but I never saw them... Oh well, had a shit race, not sure it was the heat, the legs, or that my jersey and shorts didn't match.. prolly the latter (haha).. but either way I was shit and not happy about it. only 50 finishers and Hek did a great job sticking it out for 13th and keeping his overall lead in the Crit Series. We had a good night in DC Sat night and then it was on a flight home on Sunday. Back into some training and getting ready for Tour of Ohio in a couple weeks.



Myself, Liz and Hamblen try to figure out the new space age parking meters in DC


We didn't match very well....


Although the orange matched Mark's hair....
