Race results 6 race series is over. I'm beat to death.

I was in a 5 man break with two laps to go. At one point we couldn't see the main group for a while. Then guys stopped working. Got sucked in and recovered. Started working back to the front. Double yellow line rule kept me blocked on the left. Packed in on the right. Cross the RR tracks, pace quickens, then a bad wreck. My team mate has to go around it. The pack splits, I advance. 200m and I'm stuck. Rules are that you cannot cross the yellow in the sprint or the cones at the line. I was dead in the water. Top 15 somewhere. Then. THEN!!! Someone stops at the line. Yes I said stops at the line and my team mate T-bones him at 25mph or better. He goes over the bars and lands on his side. Sprained wrist, soar hip. His F4:13 frame is OK, but his shifter and saddle is a mess.

So this is the total results for me in the 6 race series:

Donaldson Center:3rd cat 5
BMW: 7th cat 5

Cat up to 4s

Fork Shoals: 6th (money)
Donaldson: 3 man break caught at the line, pack finish
River Fall: 6th (money)
Donaldson: 5 man break, caught, pack filler, no sprint finish. Blah!
