This weekend started out as a bit of a mess. Bo, Brian, Peter and I were supposed to meet out of MSV at 5am, and as expected we left at around 5:45. We got to the race and the combination of the long registration line and the fact that we were the first team of the day to go meant a hurry. Fred, Brian, Peter and I lined up at the "start line", which was really just a sign beside the road, and took off with no knowledge of the course. The corner marshals were not much help either, I had to yell at them to tell us which way we were turning. We ended up getting fourth out of six, in front of U of C, due to a crash, and U of I. Next was the road race, which I finished just about in the middle of. Result of the same kind followed sunday in the crit.
All in all it was a good time. Almost too good of a time to come back to Commons food and eminent finals. We beat out SLU for a place in the top 5 but never did complete the breadstick handoff.
