Jr NationaL crit 08

The Crit at nationals was a simple course with very few turns. But it was going to be my first ever parking-lot crit. After I got all my stuff I started to head toward the start-line. Once I got to the start I got into the second row and close to the front.
The race started out really fast to no surprise and I was comfortable in the middle of the pack. after one lap I decided to start moving up towards the front. as I was moving up however I slide out around the 180  and ate dirt. I got up and was fine along with the 2 others that hit my bike and headed towards the pit for bike repairs. Using my free lap I was able to get back in the pack. but I was never able to get to the front again. I then sat in the back of the pack and got whipped around the course. I was able to finish just behind the pack and in the top 50


Recap
This course was even worst than the TT course. any way I shouldn't crash next year
