Comments: I was the sacrificial lamb for the team today. My placing was basically of no significance since my teammate won the race! What I did was I took the hole shot at the very beginning and I crushed the field. I led the first three laps at the fastest pace I could hold just to string the field out and seperate the idiot-noobies from the decent guys. The field didn't split, but it was definately strung out for most of the race. After I pulled off (and everyone was gasping and clutching thier chests :)) I sat in the back-middle for about 5-6 laps. Then I went back up to the front and blocked for our guy for most of the race. I did try an attack, but it didn't stick; the field was having none of it. At the end I did the initial lead out for our eventual winner and our guy who finished 9th. Pretty successful day. What would you do differently?: Make a more strategic attack, but it wouldn't have worked anyway. Post race
Warm down: Rode around beautiful downtown gainesville. What limited your ability to perform faster: fitness Event comments: This was soooo much fun. I'm glad I lived through my first crit. Last updated: 2007-02-21 12:00 AM
