Almost done in Europe

I have less than 2 weeks left in Belgium before i head back home to start schoo, work and most importantly see my girlfriend. I have a few more races here before i begin my 15hr journey back to the U.S. I also have 2 races that i plan to race when i get back, which are the michigan state road race championships and the Tour of Leelanau. I'm not sure how the legs or the jet lag will be but i plan to race then anyhow and have some fun. It has been a great experience over here in Europe racing with the worlds best and i'm sure i will be able to put my experiences to use in my future raceing adventures. Thanks for reading.

Pushing the limit

I did a race in Oostkamp on thursday and it was possibly the hardest i have ever pushed myself before. I made the winning break with another teammate and about 15 other riders. I was asked to push the pace so the break would stay clear and i did. I pushed a little too hard and ended up getting dropped out of the break with a few laps to go but my teammate was in a good position to do well. After getting dropped i didn't want to be caught by the field so i began to chase as hard as i could. I kept my hr at about 195 for over 10min to try and stay as close as possible to the break. I pushed so hard that i actually puked from my bike all over my right leg. It was pretty gross but i was hurting so bad at that point it didn't really phase me that much. I ended up getting caught by the field with a lap to go but managed to finish around 30th. My tammate in the break placed 10th in the race which was a good result for the team. Well thats all for now. I have about 4 weeks left and hope to get some decent results before i head home. Thanks for reading.
