Rode tonight with the team at the Windermere Roadies ride. The ride was fast and hard. I spent too much time near the front at the beginning of the ride and almost dropped off the back. I hung on the back of the pack and tried to recover but it seemed impossible. Once the speed of the pack picked up I don't think it ever dropped below 25mph. I did feel much better by the end of the ride was able to advance to the front and participate in the sprint.

The lesson tonight was that I need to stay away from the front, especially when there are hills. I also felt similar to yesterdays ride (breathing problems) but I was able to concentrate on deep breathing and was able to better control it.
