Tour of Eagle Criterium
16 06 2008I didn’t have a chance to blog on the crit til now, cause I had to do the Relay right after it. The Crit was the first bike race I’ve ever seen. I have my first race on Wednesday and I’m officially scared out of my mind. I had no idea how different it is from a running race! There’s so much that I don’t know. It’s a small race that (I think) only a few will be there, so it should be a good virgin race for me. Ryan, my biking guru, will be there too, so hopefully he will help me get everything straightened out. There isn’t much chance that I will hang with the big girls this time and good odds my feet will be higher than my head at some point, and I’m sure Ryan will tease me about this for a long time. Wish me luck!
What is your race on Wed? Is it a crit? I’ve never done a Crit, but I agree they look scary! I guess I don’t really rate myself highly on the technical bike handling skills… I’m more of a long distance grinder… I’m like the energizer bunny, I keep going and going and going.
It is a crit, too. It’s the first of three of the FCA Endurance Series. Yesterday, Ryan took me and Wyatt and taught us how to turn. Hmm, it’s not as easy as it looks! I took a couple of tumbles, much to my chagrin! I’m a long distance gal myself, and this race may be a disaster due to that. We’ll have to see! So you just bike for fun, or do you have a team?
