I won.
First time in over 25 years that I won a bike race.
Granted it was a just 45 min crit for M35+ 4/5, but it had ~40 starters and I was by no means the strongest guy. Just stayed cool, understood the course and popped my move with 2 corners to go and they couldn't catch me in time.
Crossed the line with my hands in the air, and man does that feel good. I'm still laughing when I think about it.

Well, it's not like I've been racing the whole time. Took a looooong break for job / wife / kids and just got back recently.
But thanks.
