Notes

nice warmup 65mins ~16miles. Race was 45mins ~18.5miles. Didnt have a great starting position. Started in back but quickly made it to the front so that I would not have to work hard later. It is easier to be up front then in the back on a course of this nature...technical. On less technical courses it is ok to sit back. I didnt want to be on the very front. But stayed upper 10 riders once I made it up to front. It took about 5 laps before I made it to the position I wanted. I found myself out front with 2 laps to go. So I rode steady but in my zone. No one wanted to come by until about .5 laps to go. I rode good up to turn 7(next to last turn) when I allowed someone to get inside me. So in the final turn I found myself outside. You want to be on the inside coming out of turn 8 or final turn. Finished 7th. Another good ride for me.
