Race Report—CCCX #10

June 28, 2009
60º+ F, little wind
7th Place

This was the series finale and I wanted to leave it all on the table. I had a great first lap (18 min), maintaining contact with the leaders. A second not too bad lap (18.5 min), where I was riding with a shadow. A third tired lap (19.5), but I did manage to pass the eventual 3rd place series finisher. And then a blistering final lap of 17.5 minutes.



During the third lap, I couldn't shake two riders. After we passed the finish line, I hammered the rest of the way and had almost a minute lead over those two at the finish.



This was my best finish yet, only 4.5 minutes off the leader. If I had only managed to keep up the 18 minute laps, I could have moved up a place, maybe even podiumed.
