Leominster Crit

Post by swawersik »

Jeremy's comment sums it up: "Who were those guys at the front and what did we do to piss them off?"

That was just friggin' hard. Jacob finished best for MRC at 21st and nobody hit the deck. That's about all that can be said.

Today was hard... I was sitting in the top 20 for the first 5 or so laps until someone decided that they wanted to put there foot into my front wheel. They bent a few of my spokes and I stayed up and limped my bike to the pit to get a neutral wheel. Got back into the race but couldn't re-adjust to the pace and pulled out. Ohh well still two more days left in NEcritweek.

That was definitely aggressive from the gun which felt terrible after hanging around staging for 20+ minutes. I rode mid to back of the pack which made it hard to get in good position for the end. I want to say more than half the field had no clue we were on the bell lap. The race was shortened and it came up quick. The field sprint was literally a pack of riders rolling through for what we thought was just another lap. Oh well, fun course and I actually completed a crit!
