Hi,

I still want to know how a guy from Indiana (Gary Painter) is in such good shape in mid-February at least two years in a row.

It was great to meet AzTR in-person. It was less fun losing his wheel on the road race climb. Next time I won't try to stay with the race leader when he attacks on a climb.

The criterium course was fun, a lot of corners and some interesting good lines. People were relatively well-behaved and no one crashed. I sprinted a little and was just behind AzTR at the finish. However, I really should have tried harder as I felt too good at the end. Not enough self-confidence in my physical ability and a little too much fear in being more aggressive.

Racer Ex, I thought you raced for UC Cyclery? The Echelon guys took GC honors but the UC Cyclery guys looked dominant at the end of the 45+ criterium.
