I know my result! 38th GC in cat 3 men. About what I expected after 200 miles of hauling my fat ass over those damn hills.

Cat 4/5

Stage 1, 70mile RR
I went out too hard, body had trouble dealing with the higher altitude screwed with my heartrate/breathing pretty good. Lost contact with the lead group on the final climb, chased to minimize time loss, 19th down 32 secs.

Stage 2 TT (10miles, hilly)
Felt better, took 1st by 11 secs. Now 5th, down 21 secs.

Stage 3 Crit, (40 min)
Wet and slick as hell, crashes everywhere. Course dries out halfway through, I was able to hold the back of the pack and remain 5th, down 19 secs.

Stage 4 102 mile RR
Tried to be patient, reserve energy and not work. Ended up having to get up front anyway to help chase down a 2 man break that was up 1m30sec coming near the final 8 mile climb. Caught the break at the base of the mountain, 7 of us in the new break doing the battle-royal up to the finish line. 2 guys kept surging trying to break us all, wanted to quit and have the pain stop so many times. Held on, and sucked it up, took 4th for the stage.

and become the new GC by 18 secs!! Final got to stand on a Podium


Elkhorn is a great race. Baker City and the organizers do a top notch job of putting on this event.

I was like you in the 4/5 race. I was just happy to get over the first three climbs of the last stage with the main group and help fishmel bring back the breakaway. That was a mentally and physically tough race. Nothing like finding out on the first day that you are in no way, shape, or form going to be a competitor in the race. Lots of strong fellas there.

Great job fishmel, you were looking super strong out there. For some reason I've lost my climbing legs this year, could have used them last weekend!

you guys had bigger nuts then I did in that crit, I kept it slow (especially turn 1). I have no idea how you guys went through that corner for the first 3/4 of the crit or so... i was sliding half the time

Thanks Obra3, I have a feeling that if I place in the top 50 at the Cascade Classic in the 3s I will be lucky. My legs still haven't come back around.

Take it easy. Maybe 1 PIR or Tabor in the intervening time- possibly the Firecracker crit. Other than that, don't go too hard.
