Raced last night, B race (Cat 3/4) again. So last 2 times I race it, I was 2nd. This time 1st. My first time to win a B crit. It was my season goal to win this B crit. Bunch finish. Probably only two interesting things in the video. One is in the first 3 minutes or so when I got yelled at for how I was riding while marking a bridging attack to the 3 man breakaway (which contained a teammate). And then the last lap (bunch sprint after the breakaway was caught). I knew that if I kept at it, I would eventually win this crit, probably on one of those weeks where there is a low turnout and I am the best guy left. But it was more satisfying to win last night with a strong field, including 3 guys that had won the B crit this season. Including two straight up sprinters, and another very good all-around good-sprint guy as well. Also a good team effort (our team sometimes does bonehead stuff). Team went 1/2. Sprint practice has been paying off.
