First race for me is in the books and it went ok. I totally blew the start and arrived at the start/finish with about 45 seconds before the gun. That meant I lined up at the back of a 40-50 person field. The start went down a 50 meter straight, then of course, a 180 hairpin.
I moved up a little on the start, then got clogged on the 180 turn and had to dismount. I settled into about 20-25th for the first frantic lap. There were bottlenecks at certain parts of the course and I was staying tight with the front two groups, but gradually I started dropping off the pace and got passed by a couple riders in the last few laps. Overall, I finished in the top 15 I think. My teammate, Marty, was killing it, but flatted towards the end of the race and had to pull off. He was in 2nd at the time. Anyway. Good start to the season. Here are some photos of the course.
I hate how this blogger website works with photos.
