Stages 3, 4, & 5

Sorry for the delayed posts, but we're staying somewhere in the hills at a camp where there is not cell phone reception, or internet, but there is electricity and running water.

I'll give you the quick version because the battery on my computer is dying.

Stage 3 was fun and hilly. I got 4th or 8th or 9th depending on which results you look at. Good day.
Stage 4 was a serious climbing day and I was on great form until 1 km to go on the last climb and absolutely cracked. Crappy day.
Stage 5 was rolly with short steep climbs. A break of 12 stayed away and I finished in the pack. Okay day.

I've made some tactical errors, but may be able to recover an okay gc spot if the TT goes okay tomorrow. I'm having a good time, but man racing can be fustrating sometimes!

Here's a great picture from the race. I'm going to try and purchase a few of these to give them away as Christmas and Birthday presents. VA is a crazy place!
