I sat up, not so much because I was covered, but because I knew shortly after the jump I couldn't get across solo. Retreated to the field. Didn't get a good count on the break as they were quickly out of sight. Heard someone say it was 9 guys. Coming into the finish, I didn't put in much of a sprint, just kept speed up. Ended up 12th. Would have won some cash if I had tried since the break was only 5. Oh well.

P123 was fast, but manageable. Not a lot of action from me until the last lap. Camped on @mattm about 1k to the finish because well ... he finishes really well. He jumped up the right side, I followed. He jumped again about 300m from the chicane (finish is chicane then 100m sprint) I went to follow and right hamstring just locked up. I tried to pedal through it and recruit the quads, but they were done. Did all I could to keep speed up and take non scary lines through the chicane to coast in for 24th.

Good fun weekend of racing though. @caloso 's team can really put on an event.
