14 Nov 2015 Adam's Farm
Got the holeshot, held it for a minute or so before Peter Goguen passed me. A lead group of 3 Goguens and Myerson formed and I bridged up a few laps in. The group changed to be just Myerson, Kevin Goguen and I, with a few guys dangling on and off the back. Kevin and Adam, both experienced, tactical and good at putting in a very hard last half lap, knew that no matter who was in the lead group, they could beat them, so they had no incentive to do any work. Realizing I probably couldn’t win, I was more concerned with locking in my podium position, so I did almost all of the work (it was super windy) trying to keep our group of 3 away. During the last lap I was feeling pretty good and maybe thought I could contest the win or 2nd, but I slid out in a corner, crashed and lost Adam and Kevin. I rolled in for 3rd disappointed that I couldn’t battle it out on the last lap, but happy I made the podium. I liked the course, it was simple but fun.
I have a podium pic but I guess the file is too big to attach...
