Karl Wurzbach, Copperopolis 35+4/5

Team, I had a great time today at the race, and you guys weren't kidding when you said the course was bumpy! I was feeling pretty good through the first lap and we were a pack of 21 riders. The second set of hills I got dropped about a 1/2 mile from the top and could not catch back up. The calves also started cramping pretty badly but recovered after drinking the rest of my bottle and 4 miles later. The lead group was now about 12 riders with a few more stragglers behind. I ended up catching 3 more from our group and felt great once the cramps went away. Really wishing I could have held on to the group towards the end of the climb! (Need more mix training) Anyway, I talked to Robin Rolles and he told me I wasn't listed in the top 15 so I called Velo Promo and asked if they could review the results. He said to email them and they would take a look and see. I had a great time and am looking forward to Wente RR at the end of April with you guys. I'm also on the waiting list for the Martinez Crit.
Take care, Karl
