Tour Of Bahamas

First I have to lay down a little background on the flight . We flew from LGA to Fort Lauderdale then transferred and jumped to the island . On the flight to the island there were like 20 guys on the flight for the race . Sitting right behind us was this guy and his fucking annoying wife . This chick didn't shut up for the 35 mins . She was fucking telling everyone that her husband was a great bike racer and he rides 100 miles a day and he walks on water etc etc . Anyway this smug looking little fag shows up at the race today and come to find out the dick is in the 3/4 race . That blew my plan of stealing a water bottle from the chick every lap on Sunday . Now on to the race , we got directions to the race from the lady at the sign in on Friday night . She was like just go straight and follow the coast for 1o miles you cant miss it . We left the hotel at at 800 for the 930 start of Robyn's race . Plenty of time right ? Wrong we end up on the wrong side of the island so know were fucking hammering to A)find the race and B)make it in time . We finally came across two marshall had them call the start finish line and hold up her race , which was about to start . So are 10 mile warm up turned into a 25 mile slug fest . That was a close one but we dodged the bullet . Robyn came in 2 in the 30 mile circuit race . Then we went off at 1100 , riders of note Floyd Landis , Garmin u23 team , VMG guys and some fast FLA boys . The race started off at a good tempo and the Garmin team went to the front sent a few guys with a who's who of Fla then went across the road and fucking blocked !!! They had scooters riding on the side of us and were real strict about yellow line . The race was shut down and there was nothing we could do about it . On the back side of the course I hit this big thing sticking out of the road and lost both of my bottles . FUCK its 80 and I have no water on the first 6 miles of a 45 mile race . Whit the yellow line rule I couldn't get to E for 3 laps . We put in some work but the move was gone . I told E to q off me in the sprint , so with about 1k to go I hit the front and drove it until about 100 meters E got run off the road with 500 to go . That went well !!!!! Now we get to sit and cook for 2.5 hours and wait for a 3 mile TT . Let me tell you I was real motivated being down 3 mins to really kill my self in a TT . I rode just hard enough not to get caught by the VMG guy that started behind me and not catch the Garmin guy in front of me . After the TT we had a 10 mile ride back to the hotel we jumped in with the Garmin team and a few others and cruised home . Tomorrow we have a 110 mile RR YUMMMM .
