Did a midweek 2/3/4 crit last week (30 in the field). Lots of cat 2 hitters in there; all young guys too. There was some traffic after about 10 minutes that I didn't filter through and a separation to a group of 10. At that point I was really pissed off because I was feeling good and thought I could have been there. I decided to hang in there and try to drag them back. Ultimately I got off the front chasing another 2 in the the gap and stayed away until the finish. 11th place.

Considering the strength the of the field, and rolling a number of laps solo, with a group chasing, I was actually pretty happy with that. With the same guys, and some saavy on my part, I think I could go top 5.
