I rode in a crit in Akron today. It was a first year event. I raced in the Cat4/5 race and finished up somewhere between 6th to 8th in the field sprint. Was a nice course that went through a business district and an area of new homes and apartments. Two thirds of each lap were down hill then we went back up hill for the rest of the lap. The race was 40 minutes + 3 laps. Our average speed was 24.1 mph. I was wearing a little fatigue from riding 340 miles across PA eariler in the week.
