Was hoping to lead out a team-mate that is close to upgrading to the 2's so with half a lap to go (5 miles) I found him near top 20 and stuck near him. With 1k to go we were stuck behind a wall of riders with nowhere to advance...we waited too long and found ourselves boxed in completely. hit the last right hand turn and overtook a dozen or so riders but the race was over (a metro mint rider had soloed off the front for the win to my dismay) aaaaah crap -always sucks to finish a race with lots of matches to burn.

fitness is coming along nicely as is the weight loss - this was a c race (first rr of the season) so i cant complain...too much
