Yesterday kicked off the 08 season with the uphill time trial as the first stage of the San Dimas stage race.  It was a tough climb, 3.8 miles of uphill. I felt about average and was a bit disappointed as I have been feeling pretty descent in my training.  Training isn’t racing though and  you can never tell how you are going to go despite good preparation until you are out there slugging it out. Both Neil Shirley and Trent Wilson are within 10 seconds or so of the lead. Not bad at all and that gives us some good cards to play today. 

The race is still up for grabs as the top 20 guys are all within 20 seconds.  What will happen today? Who knows, I will be trying to get into a move that will stick up the road, most likely it will come down to the last couple laps of the 12 on the last climb where the race is won.  All you can do is look for opportunities to get up the road, stay out of trouble and help the teammates out throughout the day.  The field is stacked and there are allot of guys on good form.

 I will try to throw up a quick update later with how the day went, catch ya!
