we were in a breakaway of 3 in a circuit race. stayed away for most of the race. the finish was at the bottom of a descent, with some rolling hills. One of them was a junior and had junior gears (spin out on the descents), the other one is stronger in his fitness than handling skills around corners, so I liked my odds. I planned out my attack in my head over the last few laps, and executed exactly as it went in my head. tucked in the steep descent, sling shot around the two, exploded out of the saddle on the roller, shredded through the corner, and kept the hammer down until I was near the finishline, and they were ~100m behind me. fist in the air. done.
