We got to Austin and the weather was overcast. after the first race started, Jrs/womans. it started to sprinkle lightly but it was just enough to cause the roads to become extremely slick and this caused several crashes.
any way... my race was next and it was still raining. I lined up on the front like I normally do and got ready to go. As the race went I got to the front and attacked on the second lap. I really like these wet and slick conditions and thought I could use it to my advantage As it turns out, I was able to get out in front and stay away for a good portion of the race. The road began to dry and it proved harder to stay away, as the pack was able to take the turns at speed. I was caught with about 10 laps to go. Just before I got caught, I looked over my shoulder to see none other than my friend Blake from THSJ leading the pack.I reintegrated myself to the pack and got ready for the sprint. I placed what I think was 12-16th place. after the race I found some friends from camp and then went back to the hotel and got cleaned. I then came back and watched the rest of the races with friends then watched the pros race with an open jaw.
recap
pros are fast, I mean really fast. I raced the race to the best of my ability and believe I can't improve what I did.
special thanks to my dad 4 taking me to race and to the south central developmental camp for exposing me to all the Jrs I hung out with that day. I love the rain
