san pedro gp
raced at the san pedro gp yesterday here in LA, right by the port, was pretty cool.
it was really hot and had a major false flat leading up to the finish line with a block head wind which made it interesting to say the least.
hash and me were up against it with rock racing having 6 guys, plus alot of local teams really well represented.
without going into great detail it all came down to a big bunch sprint, with me leading out into the false flat headwind in the 11 and drilling it with hash on my wheel, i dropped him off about 75 meters from the line with everyone completely strung out and……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
……………………………………………………hash had one of the biggest brain melts i have ever witnessed, and forgot to sprint. he kinda coasted past me thinking he had it won and rahsaan rolled him on the line, so the chocolate rocket got the win.
looking back on it its quite funny now, but safe to say i wasnt to pleased after the finish hahaha, almost pulled out a wrestling move and dived off the top tube of my bike at him and clotheslined him but after a wee roll down it was all sweet.
training went well today, knocked out a decent five hours with a 1000m climb in it that we found out the back of some canyon, so that was awesome! then hash witnessed some guys actually being arsonists and starting a fire in a gully then all the fire department turning up asap, its really dry here so fire danger must be really high, apparently the helicopter turned up straight away with a monsoon bucket. serious stuff!
got track racing end of this week so hopefully be flying at that and in the money!
