Yippee! Mark McCormick, Jason Snow and a bunch of faces I didn't know started the crit today ...after attacking from the second corner of the first lap & going off the front for the entire Masters race and getting 5th of 5 from the break...phew.
I decided to be more patient in the pro race. I waited, and waited, and waited, patiently while the other riders flexed on the front for what seemed like an eternity. Quietly waiting to make my move, no more field sprints for me. So....
on the second lap I attacked:)
Went clear with two others. We almost lapped the field then one dude dropped off and the other guy was in trouble on the last couple of laps. We split all the primes and I took off on the last lapper roo. Mom, Dad, and my niece were all cheering...just like 18 years ago....
Other cool things-a guy come up to me and says "did you go to URI?" I said "yup." (for a couple of years before I quit school and cycling). He and I trained all the time when I started the URI cycling team. He was giving me time splits all day...that was cool.
There were about 10 other cool things like that that happened today. So glad I came back for a tune up before Nationals.
