I had no teammates and team tactics coming into play all race. Break on the last lap stuck, barely. That put 7 guys in front of the pack, of which I was sitting about 4th wheel at 1k to go. I got swarmed and rolled in at the back of the pack.

Notes:
1. Yellow jersey goes down about .5 miles into the race taking a few with him; I rolled into a ditch to narrowly avoid the crash.
2. Was crazy close with another guy when he rolled up to my left and then drifted into me. We almost locked handlebars but we both were calm and drifted apart.
3. I was wondering where my fitness would be and it seems okay for the 3s at least today.
4. I feel burned out even though I only raced three RRs so far. hmmph.
