I started, bumped shoulders, and finished 17th out of a fill field of 50.
Longer story: I was kinda nervous, and concerned about being able to hang. Well those concerns were not warranted. I had no problem moving around in the pack, moving from the rear to the top 5 was not hard. I was never in trouble, and had plnty of reserves. Being my first crit I was not concerned with the sprint finish. Im kicking myself now. I have plenty. I moved from about 35th in the last corner to 17th and never sprinted out of the saddle. Now I have a better idea about positioning and will be better off next race.
What a blast that was, I loved it and cant wait for my next race.:D
