Rain Drops Kept Falling On My Head

So today was the usual Aggie ride and even though it was clear when we started I knew it was bound to pour any second.With rain jacket on and about 30 people behind me we ventured off campus.The ride got fast early and i had no problems on the first sprint.The second sprint was what i was waiting for.Approaching the hill by the lake i moved up on the left and just went.I looked back and at first i saw nobody,then Judd moved out from behind my wheel and pulled through.I thought for sure i was gonna blow up and get dropped by the move I started as the group of riders past me where it beings to flatten out .As the group of 7 came towards the bridge I sat up and coasted in for 4th not even trying to out sprint those who sat on .On the final sprint back in towards campus going over the tracks I got a flat in the pouring rain and stood there with no one in sight as the lead group rolled away.I could only think about how Zach felt the last three time he got flats ,except I was soaking wet an, cold and all by myself.I hope the rain stops for this weekend,but if it did then it wouldn't be real bike racing would it ?
