Volunteer Park Crit in Seattle, 50+, 35min race on a 1k course with a hill every lap and no technical corners, 4th place. I was near the front from a lap in (with 25 racers on a non-technical course, 1/2 the pack is near the front) and made sure I was on the right side of any splits in the group. With 25 minutes to go, 3 guys that looked pretty strong got a decent gap so I jumped and bridged up to them. These 3 guys were quite a bit stronger than I and despite the fact that I did much less work than them, they dropped me with 4 laps to go (actually, I was dropped 3 times before that on the hill but chased back on the down hill). I managed to stay out in front of the pack solo for 4th place. I'm quite happy that I made the winning break and I definitely gave it all I had. Much fun.
