Great job Jeremy. Top 10 is always good. Avoiding crashes is excellent.
Given that you rode 46 miles less than 24 hours earlier and hammered a few hills two days ago, methinks that might have made you feel a bit leg tired.
Marblehead 4/5
Re: Marblehead 4/5
Jeremy hit all the key points.
This race was sketchy as usual. At times, it kind of felt like a game of Mario Kart...
My only regret is that, having done a good job of staying up front all day, I found myself pinned on the right hand side with 2 to go. Having been crashed out here several times, almost always on the right hand side (there's no place if someone goes down because of the curb), I decided to back out of that space and work my way left. As a consequence, I was not as well positioned as I'd like going into the final straight. I did manage to find a gap up the middle going into the last hill, but had to let off the gas to avoid the sketchiest rider in the whole race (glad I'm no longer with NEBC - that guy was an embarrassment) as he bounced off someone for the umpteenth time of the day. From there, I just rolled it in for 23rd. Season opened - hopefully better things to come.
