Shattered.

Today is the first race of the 2009 season, Fontana Ca. The pro men have 5 laps to do. I had a good starting position and solid first lap, I was in the top 20 and comfortable. 200m after the feed zone, going onto the 2nd lap I somehow wrapped my rear derailer around my cassette and shattered it. I knew as soon as I looked at it that there was nothing that I could do and since I was past the tech zone I was not able to just go backwards to the pit zone. I would of had to walk/run the full lap to get it fixed. I was done. Only 24 min into it and I was done. I stood there completely bazzled at what had happened. I am not one to let these things get to me, but sometimes it just sucks. I now have three weeks until the Sea Otter and I am planning on getting some solid training in while in Tucson.
