racing in an oven

is basically what today was. an oven with super strong fans. in other words it was really hot, and really windy. exact figures i dont know. but extreme.
the race went decent. attacked a couple times, dont know if i got any points on this 58 km. criterium or not. the only bad moment was when i had just started my acceleration to attack to get a prem. and i got checked (body checked) off the road into the dirt/gravel/grass side. it really made me mad since i am pretty sure it would have worked, i was feeling great and the line was not to far, with the wind. like i said other than 2, 1 lap breakaways with some others, and a weak attack to early on the last lap i just sat near the front of the 130 riders. thats about it.
now a few more pictures from yesterday.
