LAX Circuit Race

Frank Shleck rounding the last turn with 300meters to go until victory in the final stage of the Tour of California.

"Conquer your demons." A team mate suggested this when I let him in the circumstances that contributed to my plan of starting but not finishing the LAX Circuit Race.

There's a first time for everything. Sat at the back for the entire "race." Finished and felt good about it. Heart rate never got any where near race pace. Felt like an easy group ride...which I guess it was given my position. Quite the contrast to last year when it was yours truly and Tyler Hamilton swinging into the last turn. A break went at some point and all of the Helen's guys missed the boat. The masters team had a good showing and top results.
