STXC, TT's, Dust, Rain, Thunder, Hail...

A quick update. Been riding a lot this week. Tues I jumped into the STXC race and just hung on. Some fast dudes out there...Took 5th out of 5, impressive I know. It was dusty and sweaty with two climbs that were just long enough to really hurt.

Yesterday, rode through some of the heaviest rain I have ridden in. Was on my way with Serena out the the local Wed night TT race. Serious storm we rode through was almost comical, it hailed on us briefly too. Puddle deeper than the bottom bracket, no joke. Just brought the road bike and no aero gear. Got in a quick warm up and off I went, it wasn't raining anymore. It was painful but over quick. I could clearly improve my time trialing, just not sure what it's gonna take or if I care at this pt in the season.

Only a few races left in me before the departure to Thailand...Pickett's this weekend should be sweet, it's been raining a bunch and the trails will be perfect. Next week a crit. That's it. Run a bit whilst traveling, hit it hard in Aug for CYCLOCROSS!
