Question of the Day

Ah, that little bike race in my neighborhood. I had considered not spectating today, however I realized that doesn't make any impact on the decision not to have a CAT4 women's race, so I decided to head over and check it out. This morning we had our Tri-Flow training nice & early and got back into Burlingame just in time to see the Pro men and Pro-Am Women (Simpson's title) race. Good solid 4.5 hours on the bike today so I had to grab a pseudo-burrito from La Salsa.

So, I'm rolling around the course and park myself at the end of the Chicane for a bit. The Course Marshall asks me why I'm not racing. I tell him it's because the men in his cycling club eliminated 50% of the women's races for this year. So, he says to me "you'll just have to upgrade." Men, always trying to solve our problems! I, of course, tell him he's missing the point, but then realize it will take less emotional effort if I just roll onto another part of the course.
