Mick Hellman
16th place, Pro/1/2
This is my first ever pro/1/2 road race. 85 miles on hilly terrain west of Orlando, FL.
Launched numerous attacks, but failed to make the winning break, probably because I knew none of the key players. Trying to make something out of nothing, I attacked the field hard in 4th of 5 laps, and after a few minutes was joined by Kyle Wamsley of Navigators. The two of us worked hard, and successfully bridged 2 minutes to the chase group (blowing through 2 other chase groups along the way), but couldn't quite make it across to lead group of 5 that was 50 seconds more up the road. Fried by an earlier 20 minute solo attack, the bridge, and repeated efforts to ditch the rest of the chase group of 11, I had zippo left for the sprint. Fitness was very strong. Looking forward to TT next Saturday in Tampa.
