West Vlaandren stage 3

Today was pretty crazy!! pouring rain, wind, fast speeds, Cobbles, the Kobbleberg, a true belgian race. I started off the day feeling pretty good and motivated to finish off strong. got in a few moves, but got chased down pretty quickly.. at times I felt like it was a race against myself just trying to stay up front. about 50k in a quick step guy went down and brought a few other guys down with him. all I could do was run into him as he cushened my fall. Finally, got untangled, i was the first guy out of the mess. I started chaseing, when 5 min later another crash happens. After coming to a stop weaving through team cars, and riders on the ground I spent the next 20 min in the cars chaseing back on and came close, but didn't quit make it. that was my day. i think only 50 or 60 guys finished today!! One of those days. This week was a great experience, for my first time racing in Belgium. I learned a ton doing these kind of races. It's only going to make me a better rider!!
