28.03.02
150km, 4.30h, 27th.Place

A super windy and dangerous day!
It was not only the wind which made the race dangerous. At the Solano race there is such a big difference of level between the riders, and some of them are not used to ride in a big bunch!
A lot of crashed happened, but I could stay clear for most of the time, unless once the wind just blew my off the road shoulder into the gravel!
I felt really well especially at the end. Unfortunately I missed the right breakaway with 30km to go, and it is just boring to race in a group that is not batteling for the win any more.


29.03.02
Time Trial 19km, 32min., 101th. Place

It was a out and back time trial in the middle of nowhere. Well there were a lot of sheeps out there, but my performance did not need any spectators anyway. I lost more then 4min. to the doday's winner Wohlberg Eric (Team Saturn). I am shure this is not the cause of a missing real tt bike. I am just not good enough against the clock and I would have to practice this much more.


30.03.02
Criterium 90min, 69th. Place, 32th. Overall

Fourtunately I have survived without beeing in one of the many crashes that happend today again. No wonder with 180 racers sprinting around a small circuit with lots of corners.
Heart rate was pretty low, but legs still felt pretty good after all this racing.
