Barrio Logan GP 6/11/23, 3rd out of a breakaway of 4 that I started with an attack < 10 min into a 50 min race. Very, very hard! I flatted at ~6 to go and sorta trudged back to the S/F area, since I assumed that I would have to be started in the field. But, they put me back in the break!
I knew I should have attacked Spencer in the final laps, probably multiple times if needed. Did not make sense going into a sprint with him. Second place is former Mexican National Champ Rigo Meza.
Still, I'm happy to have executed well on my plan. As the final race of the day, I knew it would be the second race for many racers (not me today), so I wanted to take 'em early. Secondly, I wanted to draw out Spencer and hopefully Rigo to drive a move. Boxes checked. The flat kinda psyched me out a bit since my training wheels are super slow, so I wasn't feeling too confident. I regret not attacking the break anyway, but overall I feel great about the race and my find USAC race of the season.
