Sunday was a total downpour. It poured the ENTIRE day. We had to hustle to get our rental car returned as Pete's family was generous to offer their Outback Bikes van for us to use for the week. We made it to Roswell with about an hour to spare. After finding out our race was delayed twenty minutes, we begged a local and very friendly Georgia team to use their trainers they were done using and were able to spin a bit out of the rain.
The entire event was so wet. Imagine racing a huge shower, then add more water. Some of the course was flooded. Luckily the women were super safe, but I think that was largely to how fast the race was. Kat did great moving around in the field. I was honestly pretty pouty in the back. It was pretty uneventful for us. With two to go I brought Kat up to the front and then only half committed to the gambler's prime. I really should have fully committed but I didn't for some reason. We both finished likely outside the top twenty...a little disappointing but I am also happy to have survived the course I fractured my shoulder on last year unscathed. It looks like we'll have good weather the rest of the week and we've been getting good rest after our rough first night.

We concluded our evening with an excellent vegan meal at la Casa De Wicker with our first try of tofurky, roasted veggies galore, homemade salsa, and wine. Today (Monday) is a rest day. It's largely still supposed to be raining for our entire 6 hour journey to Beaufort, South Carolina, but we hope it means sunny races to follow. We're looking forward to some excellent seafood, a little bit of the ocean, amazing hosts Rocky and Joan, and some super fast and fun racing.
