The 6^th stop on the ProXCT ended up being one of the hardest races for me in my career. Due to a myriad of factors I had nothing in my tank and could tell even during my warm up. I had last row call up but expected to climb through traffic like I normally do. I started to but it was much harder than normal. I made it to about 7^th place and couldn’t get past that. Then I started to slip back. I was hoping to pull myself together for the climb on the second lap. Nope. By the third lap I was wondering how in the world I’d ever climb that silly hill 2 more times. I crashed on lap 2 then again on lap 3 and was just a mess after lap 3. By the 5^th lap I just wanted to finish in one piece. It was almost as hard as finishing PCP2P last year, I was seriously that spent. I rolled across in 23^rd, never happier to see a finish line. Definitely not what I had hoped for, but since I know exactly what happened I’m not worried at all. Onward and upward!
