Had my first race today, and got spat out the back on the 3rd lap of a 5 lap 100k course. So hacked off but am going to get back on it and train like a loon, just don't feel like it just yet.

Sorry I had to share my self indulgment, better now.

    You did well to get that far!!

    Not only in terms of lasting 3 laps but most people don't get to the start line!

    dmclite - my first race, I got blasted off the back of the bunch inside the first km of a 60km race...

    Ahh well. Was UBER windy too, so no chance of time-trialling it up to the front either...
    Boo-yah mofo
    Sick to the power of rad
    Fix it 'till it's broke

    You're dejected because you got spit out the back? Trust me, you are not alone.
    I would bet that pretty much EVEYONE has gotten spit out the back in their first race or
    if not the first then one shortly thereafter. You're normal. :wink:
