That sucked.

I love the wind. Today was windy. I couldn't wait to race. About 3 miles into the race, I took a pull, dropped back and rode over someone who crashed. Great! So I chase and something doesn't seem right. I pull over and my back wheel is belly dancing and rear break is tapping out a beat. I open my break, but the wheel is still rubbing. Game over. Hopefully I will be on the YOU JUST GOT DROPPED blog that would be a high-light because I am a little bummed (my first not top ten in a long time). I'm taking my frustration out at Tysons tomorrow. I hope it's windy.

    Seriously, I was drilling it! The wheel wasn't skipping, it was rubbing on the brake and frame. What is weak is that I am such a rookie that I did not notice it immediatly after the crash.

    Sorry to hear about the incident, this should have been your race! Guess when we laugh at someone on the You got dropped blog.... we're next. Mine wasn't about any mechanical.. It was just that I sucked!

    I could say what a pussy you are to get dropped out of an easy race because of a "mechanical", but that would be mean. See you tomorrow ; )

    Yeah, couldn't pass it up, it was too easy, just sitting there all teed up for me. Tomorrow will be a shoot out. Should be fun. Get your equipment squared away!

    Sorry to hear about the crash in your race yesterday. I was in the 35+/50+ and couldn't figure out why just about my entire 123 DC Velo teammates were standing on the side of the road.

    Oh yeah, in case you forgot what you wrote on my "You Got Dropped" picture: "Here is my favorite blog this week. I think it will help get guys in the district fitter - so they don't end up here. If it happens to me though, I hope my picture ends up here because it would be the only good thing to come out of being dropped."

    I hope they post a good photo of you.

    Have a great race at Tysons' today.
