Team Mates: Mike, Chris G, Ganzalo
Disstance: 50 mi
Result: 22nd
The race stared quickish. The race then when we hit the bad pavement sections where the pace increased a lot. I went with one or two brake away attempts, but nothing was sticking so I decided to stop going with moves because none were going any where.
After the first lap I began using Mike as a pilot fish. I would stay right behind him so I could see how he would move through the pack with hardly any effort. I did this a little on my own and found that it is much less work. Moving up on the outside or inside is harder because you take more wind.
With about 3 miles to go I was in perfect position. I was following a lead out train, but saddly with about .5 mile to go the train blew up and I found my self boxed in. I then spent all the rest of the race and the rest of my energy trying to un box my self. I did finally do it but my legs were beat. So I rode in with 22nd.
Chris G did great he came in 7th!
