My second race in the memorial park crit seriesThis is going to be my first race with Kevin Kremke woo hoo.
well as the race stared the organizers made the woman go off first so they can get their prime uncontested which was good with me because it made the men take 2 neutral laps and less then 20mph however after 2 laps the speed went straight up with bike barn doing their attacks over and over and over again. any way kremke only did a few attacks that seemed more like he was testing the field then trying to stay away. After the first 30 mins of the race I did my first attack on a 123 field as I attacked I only got around 4-6 seconds so nothing spectacular happened till bike barn caught then countered me. luckily this counter wasn't that bad and I sat in the pack again. after another 15 mins I did another really hard attack and got a pretty good size gap and I noticed that teammate Dan was on the front blocking for me for around a 1/4 of a lap. then I looked back and noticed that there was 3 bike barn guys in a line chasing me down after 3/4s a full lap. I then reintegrated back into the heart of the what was left of the pack I then sat there till 4 laps to go when I started to move to the front of the pack and with 1 lap to go I was in an ideal spot around 8 positions back for the sprint and on Dans wheel but with 400 meters from the line at the 90 degree turn the pack slowed way down and I went from 8th wheel to around 14th and was in no contention 4 the sprint.
recap
attack if it does more then wear out the pack. start my sprint a little earlier
special thanks to Dan for taking me to yet another race
