I've read a few of your threads about you whuppin up on the 5s...hows your season been in the 4s?
My only win came from a solo breakaway with about one mile to go. It felt like a mile long sprint though. I've had a bunch of seconds and thirds, those were all because of my sprinting. If I could have sprinted I would have had some more wins.
Since I have moved up to cat 4 I have only done one road race. I ended up 22nd in that race, I was three seconds behind the winner. Since then I have been concentrating on mountain bike racing. I have done eight of those so far this season with four more scheduled. As of right now I am second in sport class in the WVMBA series. I'm hoping to move up to first before the end of the year. I almost had my first sport win a few weeks ago, unfortunately I was outsprinted. It was by a friend of mine though that had never won a sport race himself. That made it a little easier to take.
