Snap

As in: the legs have no snap.
As in: my chain just snapped.

Warming up for Mankato I could tell I just didn't have the energy for a good race. Start was poor, but passed a lot on the first climb. I tried to keep the speed up to maintain my position and was sitting top 20 after first lap. First half of Lap 2 I was just trying to recover. Then about halfway up the Staircase climb my chain seized, then it snapped. Game over. Oh well. 3-4 weeks until next race and I'm glad. I need some time to recover and train.

Not as in: "AWE, SNAP!" ?

Saw the DNF on the results. Glad to hear that it wasn't due to an injury.

Sorry to hear about the mechanical. Bummer.
