we had a small field of 5 in the 1/2/3 today, so they combined us with the 3/4, to get a ~30ish rider peloton. it was kind of nostalgic racing with the cat 3's again, seeing some familiar faces that were competitors last year, but I don't miss it. lot of inexperienced riders. attacks don't have as much punch as i'm now used to. lots of leaving gaps open on purpose, and people refusing to work. teammate, myself, and the other cat 2's basically took turns attacking the field. pretty much all the guys in the 1/2/3 ended up in the winning break, and there was this other masters racer who dangled on the back. then entire time. the rest of the field pretty much gave up, I think, as we never saw them again until maybe 2 minutes after the finish. I won the race, teammate second. not a big win or anything, but good training and tactics practice.
