My first race was only a month ago. I read some tips on the board and made it a goal to stay near the front, mostly to avoid trouble. I had the legs but no tactical knowledge. Ended up leading out all the sprinters on the final turn.... still managed 13th in a field of 50. The next week I made the same mistake and finished 19th. I will be more patient next time, hopefully.

Race 3 is not until 3/21. The anxiety is killing me.
