Durand and Prom

Jordan took 3rd in the Cat 4's at the Durand Road Race in a field of 50 racers. He attacked on the climbs to draw 5 riders away on the 2nd lap (see photo below), and then attacked the climbs again on the final lap to narrow it down to himself and 2 others. Well done Jordan.

First selection of 6, coming through to get the bell for the final lap.

I did the Cat 1/2/3 race, and didn't fare as well. I got caught at the back at a crucial moment, and got whipped off the back over a climb. I clearly need more training for extended periods at threshold pace (i.e. races).

Meanwhile, back at the homestead, Maren was getting all dolled up for Prom. She went stag with some girlfriends, since her boyfriend backed out 2 weeks prior (class act!). His loss.
