MV at Coldsprings



JameyWatts (Munroe) (pictured at left) and Mr. Fitness (Steve Borski) travelled down I-45 today to tackle the Coldsprings Cat 3 race. It came down to bunch sprint on the finish hill. With ample support from Mr. Fitness, JameyWatts was in position to contest the sprint. And even though he sat up just before the line (which cost him a placing), he managed a fine 5th place result. (Domestique duties accomplished, Mr. Fitness sat out the sprint and finished well back in the field.) When asked why he chose to race about 20 meters less than everyone else, JameyWatts blamed oxygen deprivation while noting that it's always a challenge for him to contest an uphill sprint with "the lungs of a box turtle." Turtle lungs or not, a 5th place Cat 3 finish is a good day or racing. Congrats to JameyWatts and Mr. Fitness for a solid effort with a very short roster.
