Comments:

I jumped on the bike and took off everything was good but I missed my clipin an was looking down to make sure I did not miss it again. I swerved over to the side and when I looked up I was about 2ft from a cone. My natural reaction was to grap the brake! Well that sent me over the top of the bike and splattered all over the pavement. Jumped to my feet looked around and yep lots of spectators!! Grabbed the bike and off I went.
What would you do differently?:

walked alittle

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I am training for a biger race so I really did not tapper any for this race. I believe that is why I just could not get the speed going.

Event comments:

It is a fun race to start the season. With the road conditions I would not come to this race hoping to PR.
