Today I raced my first Crit. Front of the pack the whole time, took some good pulls, eased off on the second to last lap to save some energy for the final sprint. Noticed people getting fatigued and sketchy so I made my way to the rear/side of the pack. Sure enough, carnage in the middle - bikes and bodies flying everywhere. I drifted to the left and avoided all of it. Neutralized finish. Got my points and rode away. No one was seriously injured - all of my friends avoided going down. It was a good day.

p.s. **** the 5's.
