So this last weekend was our home raceweekend. I was supposed to race 3xs but we had so bad luck and due to weather racing on saturday was cancelled. So that left a crit on Sun.
Race started off actually pretty hot. There was a prime on the 2nd lap which actually caused some decent attacks/ splitting of the pack. A group of about 6 riders got off the front and formed a pretty strong break away. We actually got 3 guys in the break including my boy Koonsman so Luke & I chilled out in the pack since we had no obligation to chase the breakaway.
Overall the pace in the pack was fairly easy and the breakaway was about 35 seconds in front. I was sitting 2nd, 3rd or 4th in the main pack for the whole race which was really good position since all of us in the main pack were racing for 7th place. Well with about 5 laps to go Mesa State came to the front and started turning some screws and tested the main pack. Gaps started to opening up and it seemed lots of people were actually tired or bad at holding the wheel in the corners. So with one lap to go I attacked as hard as I could and got a small gap. Sadly I got caught. In when it came to the field sprint I was shot from my attack and took 14th. So overall not a super high place but based on what happend I feel good. My next race will be back home in the Springs
