Another Big Finish

I had another GREAT ride at Donaldson this week. I finished 7th in the sprint, bridged a few gaps (one of them up Golf Course Hill), had one big attack and a few good pulls. I'm starting to think I want to race the SC/NC state road race and I only have one more week to decide.
I'm having a real breakthrough wtih my riding right now. I did a few rides with people who made me feel "less than worthy" to be looking at their ass as they rode away from me in recent months. I've always understood that there are going to be riders that are stronger than me. But being less than humble makes me want to smack the doo doo out of people. I spose I just need to focus on those that are willing to go a little slower than they can, make me hang on their wheel and encourage me when God and my legs know I want to stop and curl up like a little girl on the side of the road. Regardless, I've seen my progress mentally and physically. I never understood until these last few months how much those two aspects go hand in hand in cycling.
For the first time I feel really strong going in to the fall. Though it is hard to judge my "racing other women" ability unless I actually get to race them. Truth is the female competition around here blows some of the men I've raced out of the water. I'm thinking i need to step up my game and try to ride with the A's.

Keep the rubber side down :)
