Raced cat 5 at the athens twilight crit. Soooo many sketchy riders on a course that can be treacherous on its own. I spent most of the race trying to sit in while avoiding the more dangerous riders. With the entire group still together with 2 laps to go, I was hoping to launch a solo attack, but others attacked first albeit unsuccessfully. I knew that I had no chance in a field sprint on a course with an uphill finish (I'm a big boy lol) So I worked to try and create a little bit of a gap before coming to the final sprint. It thinned the pack out but I couldn't shake everyone. I was passed by one rider while going wheel to wheel with another barely taking 2nd place by about half a wheel.
