Webster Criterium results

The Webster crit was today and I my legs did show up for one of two races. The first race was the category 3/4. I knew from the get go, this race would be very fast and I might have some issues hanging in there. Twenty minutes in I dropped off the back and retired to save any energy for the 4/5 race that was an hour later. The 4/5 race is definitely a huge change of pace from the 3/4. Here you didn't have guy after guy driving the pace. I felt really strong and comfortable from the start. With the added confidence I went for a Prem lap which would have netted me $50 for crossing the line first, only I caught at the line. After that I just sat in and recovered for the next few laps. Fast forwarding to the last lap I moved up to about 5th wheel and with 3 turns to go. We have a guy on our team that is a really good sprinter so I told home to just hold my wheel until the straight away for the finish. He was there until someone ran him into the curb and he went flying, I then sprinted to a 6th place finish, my best of this season thus far. I can't really remember the sprint, I wish someone had a video of it so I could see why I didnt sprint past the guys that were in front of me. Needless to say I'm very happy with the finish today not to mention one of our guys won the race too. Pictures will be posted soon .
