Thanks, I think i actually followed the move that you, your teammate, and the guy who eventually won started (helping me to avoid the crash). There's also a video of the full 3/4 race titled "2015 Carl Dolan Memorial Spring Classic Circuit Race, Men 3/4 (full)" by Kent L. There at 58:12 you can clearly see my move as I'm right in front of him at 200m. I was pretty sheltered from the wind, but that has its disadvantages as I was boxed in and I needed an exit. I waited until a racer to my front left who popped passed back behind me and moved into the open space to my left where it was clear. I had pretty fresh legs and got up to 35mph (according to my data) and I still had more in the tank, but the finish line came up too soon.
Edit: I missed the podium shot, too, since they held it during the 1/2/3 race that I also joined in on. In-fact, 3 of the 5 guys on the cat3 podium were in the 1/2/3 race.
