Rose Festival Twilight Crit 4/5

Pace was slow. I mean really slow. At some points we were only going ~21mph on a fairly flat course. I attacked a few times. Got a gap with about 4 people. After I would pull for a whole lap (0.7 miles), I would wave the next guy through and they would just sit there. I was the only one from my team in the race so I decided to wait for another team to try and make a break because they weren't helping me at all. The next parts of the race were pretty uneventful, I stayed in the top 5 the whole time and won a prime. At the last lap someone dove into the last corner hard from the outside and crashed. I had to slam on my brakes to avoid it and ended up getting passed by a few people to take 10th. Kind of disappointed with the result, but there is always next time.
