The first race of the Omnium was a very short three mile ITT. usually the TT is my strength and I usually Rock it that event but as I rolled up to the Start house in my usually TT gear I realized I was the first in my Category to go which meant no bunnies for me to chase. And I was the 30 second man of the Texas CAT 5 state Time trial champion, AKA Dad. Well as I started I when out pretty hard and kept up a harder pace for the first minute. but after this I realized my legs felt "flat". on the course I eventually hit a long down hill and had to coast down due to my handicap of Junior gears. once I crossed the finish line I wasn't caught so I was happy in that way. After the race I met up with my dad and we rushed back to the hotel to switch our TT gear for our Road gear.
Once we got our junk we came came back to the start of the RR and decided to chill till the time to start getting ready. With <30>
The final event was A technical crit in down town Alexandria. when I lined up my Dad finally had his stuff and was ready for his first technical crit. As the race started out my Dad immediately got to the front and started hammering (a very familiar pearland move). after half a lap Alex (dad) eased up and moved back to 3rd wheel next to me and we exchanged a few words but got back to the action. around lap 3 Eric Spina attacked and I told my dad to watch this racer. Spina got a small gap and Alex was nowhere to be seen, when all of a sudden a flash flew by on the left it was Alex, and I got on his wheel and was dragged back to Spina's wheel at 30+. This was a very smart maneuver because when Alex and I chased down Spina we could here people's bikes screeching around some of the corners. after we caught Spina, but Alex kept hammering realizing it was a prime lap with Sugar up for grabs. Spina sprinted around Alex and got it however. After this prime my Dad started getting sighs of de-hydration and when to the back of what was left of the pack. with 3 laps to go I was 20 back when I realized we where almost done with the race. So by 2 laps to go I was 2nd wheel and chasing a 5 man break. With half a lap to go we caught the break and going around the last corner I sat 4th wheel. this was around the 300m mark and the guy I was on started his sprint. He was giving every thing he had and he brought the speed to around 36 mph. and with 100m to go I started to go around him and with 50m to go I had a wheel on him and all I could here was him yelling Noooooo!!! for the last meters. I got first in this race and kept my GC lead.
Recap.
I'm rich!!! :0. I was able to get away with 125$ per win, so I came out with 375 yeeha. Also Dan Morgan did a smiler performace in the 35+ by doing ok in the TT but winning the RR and Crit. Alex Pincus did a very good performance in the ITT but got second by 1 second. Has for performance I did every thing perfect and got a great result and I sent in my upgrade request to be a three after this to
Special thanks
