Is That My Knee or Your BB Vets (Masters) 40+ Open, Fenwick Scotland, 7th of 50.

Race was last Saturday. It was essentially a bunch of laps between two roundabouts for a total of 36 miles. Kind of a flat-ish circuit race. There wasn't much wind and never any way to get out of sight, so although a lot of us gave it a go at getting away, the breaks were doomed.

We had two massive crashes; one halfway through and the other at the back of the field at the finish. I think it was a case of a big, fast field on a not selective enough course.

My takeaway here was the same as it was in my first race (4th in a field sprint); I have to be more mindful of positioning, especially coming into the last K. I've spent the last couple of years not being disciplined about staying to the front, and staying laser focused on it has been good so far this year.
