The highlights of yesterday's Elite 3 race were Kyle Torres in the break for over 20 laps, Chris and Kyle with a prime, Jack, Chris and I formed a train trying to bring the break back, and Jack bridged to the front leaders at 2 laps to go. I ended up getting 2nd in the field sprint (9th overall), which was a nice finish after nursing injuries from Calville the previous weekend.
Sunday's road race was wet, cold and windy. At 500m to go, one of the Clement brothers attacked and Erik Volotzky and I followed, but we took off to early and got caught. I ended up finishing in the middle of the pack.
The best part of the weekend was spending time with Freddie Rodriguez at dinner and at the race. Thank you Freddie for sharing your race stories and pre-race advice. You're a great mentor! Hope you heal quickly from today's crash.
A thank you also goes out to our sponsor, ClifBar, for our water bottles!
