Thursday - Vuelta Prologue

Turns out this stage race, which I thought was flat except the last day, is a race for mountain goats... The prologue was 4.6k, 2.3k up a mountain, then 2.3k down. I had a 50-11 as my biggest gear but could have used more for the flying descent. Rode hard but knowing of limited capacity to surge. Pleased to get 7th. On the health front, Kathleen had recovered, but now Hiroko was sick.
