Bad luck! I've luckily never flatted in a crit, and only once in a race and once in a training crit. I still don't have a spare set of wheels for the pit. I've got a rear, I should really consider getting a cheapo fron wheel too. Or just borrow the one off my wife's bike... I literally just thought of that now... don't know why I haven't thought of it before!
