Well, I actually did a road race thing (only 2 other races this year). Although by racing I mean just showing up and riding hard while getting lapped twice by the leaders. I did the Concord (NH) Crit, just kind of did it on a whim since I have family up there I wanted to visit. Thought it was going to be a nice day, but as we pull into town heavy rain starts coming down with some thunder. I was ready to pull the plug before it started but the rain stopped for a bit and we had a delayed start (but it eventually started raining steadily during the race and I was soaked). I was at the back due to lining up after a pre-ride lap, and the first couple of laps I'm feeling the lack of a proper warmup, and with it being a technical 6 corner crit it wasn't long before I was just getting in a good training ride, which was 277w NP (0.89 IF). I was happier to have made it through a technical rainy crit upright than anything else, and was able to use a the quarter mile uphill section as a way to get ready for CX season
