Salinas Criterium

We started very  slow. Then Zeke  (sjbc) and Andrew (sjbc) attacked repeatedly.  I covered them each time. Then Zeke tried to convince me to attack after 3 laps of a 50 min race. I did not because I knew that his team mates would chase me down and it would be a waste of energy. A few laps later Zeke and Andrew attacked hard and I tried to cover it but once I reach the headwind section I was 50 meters back and could not close the gap so I sat up and rejoined the chase group. Unfortunately we never were really organized. Then at the sprint I went to early in a headwind but had the speed to win the sprint for 3rd. Alec got 4th on a bike throw. Overall this was my best race.

    Great Job Thomas (3rd) and Alec (4th), a good days racing. You both raced smart, assertively, and at the end with good skill and determination. You both made my day:)

    Overrall, I think this was the best and the hardest race I’ve ever done. Congratulations to Thomas for winning third. I barely won 4th on a bike throw.
