Did 2 more crits this Thursday, with 2 teammates in each one. I was sort of active in the first, but nothing stuck. As we came into the finish, what was an ok position turned into swamp city in the blink of an eye and I finished 13th.
In the second race, I had two good digs off the front, and while no one wanted to join, there was at least one person willing to go to the front and drag me back. This time at the finish I deliberately went to front early in the last lap and folks were happy to sit on my wheel. With 400 to go, and before the last corner, someone came around and jumped on his wheel. Came in 5th, but going in 1st or 2nd, is the only way I'm getting top 5, as my sprint's not great.
My buddy (teammate 1) was 4th in the first race and 3rd in the 2nd one. Other teammate won the 2nd one (he dive bombed me hard in the last corner, which was seriously suspect) and got his cat 2, so cool way to upgrade.
