Farewell TNWC

Pulled another double yesterday.  The morning workout was 6 Pursuit style efforts on the Road.  I managed the early efforts well enough that I could still put out a lot of power on the 6th effort.  That is something I have been trying to get right all season.

After some recovery I went to the Tuesday Night Crit to mix it up with Columbia's fast guys.  Inside of the first 10 minutes I could tell my legs had a little extra zip than they had before I left for Colorado.  I went with a couple breaks, and helped chase a few more down.  With 10 minutes left I decided to conserve and wait for the sprint.  With 1k to go, someone jumped hard into the gutter and I almost missed the move.  I was able to grab ?Ward's? wheel and was pulled up to the group.  I managed to flub my way through turn 3 (you know, a corner I've only been through 700 times in the past 3 years) and had to sprint to grab on again.  I was waiting for the final sprint and I had no gas when I happened, but I managed to roll by a few guys for what I think was 6th.
