Welcome to the world of crit racing Sara. You did well for your first attempt.
State crit today. Rode the 45 and 50+ races.
No break was going to stay out, and I proved that several times. We had a really good lead out train going in the 50+ race, but inexperience showed and we got swamped on the last lap; our guys learned that you don't wait for the guy on the front to pull off if he starts to slow, you gotta take charge.
I had to come from way back in the field to try to launch our sprinter, got to third wheel in the train and dropped in front of him but just didn't have the gas to go and pulled out early, probably did more harm than good. He did get a close 2nd though.
45+ I launched him really well into the last corner only to find he had been knocked off my wheel and was nowhere to be seen. I tried to gather thing back up and sprint but at that point I was pedaling squares.
Pretty sore and cooked tonight. Recovery day tomorrow and then I start my countdown to salvage something out of Road Nats.
