Well...the Sonoita-Patagonia TT was quite interesting...the head and cross winds really made it more difficult for me...a couple of times I was just about blown off my bike thanks to the cross winds. But...dealing with weather conditions is all a part of racing! I was really disappointed because I didn't push hard enough...I thought I had a mile more to go so I was saving energy...but I actually only had about 200ft. Oh well! Lesson learned!
The most exciting part about the TT was my friend/teammate Louisa let me borrow her super fancy race wheels (see attached picture)! WOW! What a difference those made! Thanks Louisa, you rock!!
I've never been to Sonoita so it was a fun adventure! Weather was poopy with the heat and wind...but with each race I finish I learn a lot and have fun!
The location was...um...interesting. We parked/warmed up at the fair grounds. Well, there was a cowboy event going on...big burly cowboys with handlebar mustaches, huge cowboy hats, cowboy boots, etc. would walk past us and look at us (mostly Andrew) like we were aliens! Boys in spandex and boys in cowboy hats don't play well together lol. Horses and bikes in the same parking lot were quite the sight to see!
Since we drove 3 hours for a 25 minute race we figured we should make it worth our time/money...after the event we spent the afternoon touring the Vineyards and had dinner in Tucson! What a fun day!!
