Great new course in downtown Worcester: 4 corners, a little elevation change, and because of the buildings, some weird wind changes.
The same heavy hitters were here from the previous night, so my expectations were minimal - just stay in the pack, stay upright, and work on my crit skills (I'm realizing that after riding at the front of crits all spring, my skills for cornering 4 wide in mid pack, which were never awesome, are rusty).
The pace was hard from the gun, but not quite as batsh!t crazy as leominster. No crashes, but many DNFs (1/3 of the field). I was plenty far from the front, so didn't take many chances in the sprint, rolling across mid-pack.
I need to do some work if I'm ever going to be competitive in the 3s, but had fun.
