Over the Hump - Week 2


Last night was the second week of Over The Hump. Both of us got to race again, although Skyler "rushed" from work and barely made it by a few minutes.

I felt better than last week (probably because my cough is mostly gone) and had a great race because of it. My hard work paid off and I took first place in my group by 2 seconds. It was awesome to pass the first place woman at the last second. Oh...and I improved by time by 3-1/2 minutes!

Since this is a series race, you got points according to which place you receive every week. And since I got third place last week and first place this week, I am the current race leader for my category! That means I'll be wearing the leader's jersey at next week's race!

I forgot to post my time from last week.

May 25 - 44:38 (3rd place)
June 1 - 41:09 (1st place)

Skyler, on the other hand, didn't have such a great race. On the first climb, there was a large group of riders passing each other and somewhere in the mix a woman behind Skyler got knocked over. Skyler stopped to help her out (being the nice guy that he is), but that cost him about three minutes. So although his times from this week and last were similar, he should have gotten a way faster time last night. Karma should catch up with him next week!

May 25 - 50:01
June 1 - 50:37
