25min or so. the gap grew to 45 seconds by the end, much to the work of my teammates shutting things down.

Mikey, you are an A racer! this is the more lowly B field 
Perhaps we'll get to race some 3/4 stuff together in the summer, though i do recall you'll be in Boston, right?

Going after a prime. My teammate is softpedaling through corner. It was just enough to hold everyone else up and now I am the proud owner of a Voler gift certificate.

trying to get the break going (this attempt was about 40 min in), Fresno State collegiate A's crit. break didn't work but I took third in the sprint (thanks to an awesome leadout from my teammates). pretty technical crit with a roundabout and a u-turn and narrowish roads since it was in a park

thanks, the western conference isn't as big as the eccc or other conferences, but there are some very strong riders that make it hell and i just do what I can. I got dropped pretty hard in the road race after pulling a lot in the beginning for my teammate and then got shelled on the climb. beautiful course but didn't suit me so I was playing workhorse as I'm stronger in the crits

IIRC, you are a junior, right? one more year to take a swing at it if you don't want to do it this year.

i know 2 of the 3 races you mention are probably Poolesville and All-American Road Race. What's the other one?
Btw, do breaks usually stay away in any of the four races (including Blackhills)?
