For my non-cycling friends and family DNF = DID NOT FINISH. And that's exactly what happened to me at the race today. I think all of the work stress and anxiety and insomnia finally caught up with me. From the minute we started rolling, I just wasn't feeling the love. Fortunately, the 63 mile race included three laps, and so I pulled out after the first lap. While I could have dug deep and trudged on, it just wasn't worth it. It was starting to get hot, the roads were more marginal than I remembered them and it was flat and boring. More importantly, I knew that if I was to finish, I would NEVER race University on Sunday, which would be sad. While I do not expect to do well at University against the über P/1/2 ladies, it is my favorite race, and I would like to try and give it my best.
Congratulations to Robert on his 3rd place finish in the men's Master's 1/2/3 race. Nice job!!
