I guess I got my last little confidence boost for the season, got away with winning the last local crit I will be doing and managed to lap the field by the end. Was a surprisingly tactical race. Everything started off going nuts and I eventually got away with a 3 man move with 25 laps to go (of 35). 3 man became 2 man, rode with a guy I know who is a friend but is also a better sprinter than me until 10 laps to go. At that point we were about 20 seconds off the back of the field and I knew that if we bridged together he would most likely beat me in the sprint.
So I played a mean game of refusing to complete the bridge, making him work and constantly launching attacks. Eventually I got away and left him in no man's land at 8 to go and I finished bridging to the field with 2 to go.
Next up is the big one: GMSR where it will be a win if I get to the top 20 for GC.
