When the rubber band broke!

After 3 good races and my first money prize (4th place Baie St-Paul UCI E2) I was expecting to continue in this successful trend for the 4th round of the Quebec Cup series.  I was hoping maybe for a podium.  This day, the sun and the hot temperature was at the ”rendez-vous”. 

I was feeling not as usual before a race with somes shivers and a little dazed.  Anyway, after the start I tried to stay with the girls at the front but my legs was really heavy.  I knew it was a bad day for me.  My legs did not want to respond as usual.  During the race, I had some bads thoughts to given up.  I finally did lap by lap and finish the race to preserve my good attitude in racing.  It can’t always go well, especially in cycling.  I finally ended up 5th but I was far from the time to be on the podium. 

Now I know I am in a period that I am tired and I need a little break to build up better after that and focus for the big race (National Championship on july 20th).  Untill there, I will do some small races to build back my confidence.
