Cascade Classic Stage Race
Bend, Oregon
16- 21 July 2013

16 July, Tuesday- Prologue- Time Trial, 2.35 miles
39th, 5’22”

17 July, Wednesday- Road Race
Not such a good day.  I had a lot of difficulty up the first long 20 mile climb because of lack of sleep and not eating well or right I think.  Once I got some gels down and recovered a bit I was able to make it up the next and last climb to the finish a bit easier.

18 July, Thursday- Time Trial, 19 miles
Made up for a bad day! 27th, 37:53″
I felt good on this TT and loved the course.  I was able to apply all my power and strength of focus to work hard on this course.

19 July, Friday- Road Race
This road race loop starting and finishing at Mt. bachelor was a fun day.  Rolling road and hills till the last climb back up to the finish was fun.  Some attacks and group movement but not much till the climb which broke up the field.  31st place, but with a group that comprised places 25 to 35.

20 July, Saturday- Criterium
Another good day! 20th
This was a fun and fast crit through downtownn Bend.  I stayed on the group and worked hard even through the strung out moments when the front was pulling for a prim or points.  I worked the turns and moved through the field to finish the last lap strong.

21 July, Sunday- Circuit Race
