Comments:

Felt better than last time - lined up in up the third row on the outside (good line for the first turn) and went hard. The group pulled away again, however I was able to keep them in sight for a longer period of time this week. Working hard the whole time, took a couple of pulls for some small groups but didn't sit in the draft when they went by. With about 3 minutes until the bell lap, someone rode onto the course right into the big group and two riders went down. One rider was fine but the other was taken away in an ambulance - hopefully he's okay too. Still need to get a little stronger to be able to sit on the back of the main group but closer this week than the last race!
What would you do differently?:

Get stronger :)

Warm down:

After the ambulance showed up, I gathered up my stuff and rode home. Took a nice hilly route just to get some more solid riding in.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough power - and still not completely comfortable in a group.
