just past the finish of a very technical crit, which I raced seemingly lacking any tactical prowess :/ I made 3 or 4 runs off the front, but knew i had no legs for it and needed a guy to come with if i had any chance. in the last corner (180 turn) 2 guys went down in front of me and one next to me, so i was happy to scrape by with 4th (though i think i coulda done better if everyone had stayed upright and coulda sprinted out the finish in a bunch sprint)

gotcha. Thanks for the tip. This will surely come in handy for those pesky collegiate timetrial (no aero equipments) and races in which i feel like going OTF

Could of questions:
1. Have you tested with and without tash in a wind tunnel? It looks aerodynamic!
and
2. (More seriously) how do you get down to IAB during a race? I can get down there, but don't feel that comfortable - I hold high in front of the hoods with my forearms resting on the bars and then let go and slide my hands across to the middle. Still do not have the confidence to do it anywhere but at the velo yet.
Cheers

Nice pics, I like how low you look in the above - one of the things I am trying to work on (need to shift chest forward more rather than try to bend further)...

https://www.compsolserv.com/racepics/14.jpg - I like this one mostly because of the expressions on the guys in the pack
https://www.compsolserv.com/racepics/16.jpg - *Just* holding off the pack in a final lap flier FTW
https://www.compsolserv.com/racepics/25.jpg - This hurt more than it looks
https://www.compsolserv.com/racepics/26.jpg - This hurt more than it looks part 2
