Flyin one week, crashin the next

Last weekend at Land Park I felt fantastic, this week not so much. Cherry Pie was yesterday and it was 10lbs of suck in a 5lb bag. I wore my hr strap for the race which I usually only wear in training and it caused some sever cramping on my side. It took about 40 minutes after pulling the strap down for the pain to go away. What was happening during said 40 minute time frame? I was holding down the oh so prestigious tail-gunner position and working way to hard to keep contact. Finally the pain subsided and I went to the front to try and give JD some help and get something going. Unfortunately my legs were not cooperating and the race ended with a whimper. Oh well, it's only February.

Nice suffer pics though:
