La Vuelta de Bisbee Stage 1 & 2

Well today didn't go as well as yesterday did.

This morning was a 80mile RR. It started out great but after about half a hour the wind kicked up to 30mph with gusts in the 50's, not fun. The pack decided to gutter it and gaps began to open and the feild got shattered as everyone did about 3hrs of TT tempo. The stage was mostly flat and all of the above didn't suite me very well. I finished mid pack and lost some time.

This afternoon was another TT. It was about 8 miles out and back, again in the wind, but now it was cold and raining as well. I wasn't feeling that great after this morning but finished about top quater of the feild and got some time back.

Tomorrow is a long climbing race, so a lot of time can be gotten back if things go right and I can recover enough tonight.

It is kind of hard to guage your effort and conserve some with another longer and harder stage race just days away.
