The Crit

Here is the continuation from the previous post
The second race was the crit and it was held in the town of falcon lake, the race was 25 min plus 3 laps. The course was 2 tight turns and one gradual one. It was not very long, not even sure how long one lap took us. Forgot to look. We were the first ones to go and that was good, I will tell you later why, there were 10 guys and 5 girls in this race. At the start I wanted to go out first since I was not taken corners that fast before and I did not want to be behind some goof and crash. So I was leading the first couple of laps, no one wanted to take the lead. Well then we started to fly, the course was rough and there were a couple of good pot holes which I took once or twice, man that hurts the boys. Well there was about 6 of us that broke away from the rest of the group and we started to go fast and then slower we lapped a few people and that caused some problems. Not sure how fast we were going to scared to look anywhere else besides the guys wheel in front of me. It was going well and I kept up with the group and tried to stay at the front so as not to get dropped. Did pretty good in that regard. There were some preims, which is a prize for the one who wins a sprint during one of the laps. I had no sprinting legs and it cost me a few seconds and prizes. I have to remember that this is my first race so I have to be happy right.
Well I came in 5th here is the link, you will have to cut and past to get it, sorry about that. Http://www.cycling.mb.ca/roadresults/may29.pdf but over all I was still in 4th place. My legs felt good and had no problems. Had to rush home so I could meet my wife for supper and movie thing. Tim from Woodcocks sold me some stuff to put in the water to help save your legs and this stuff works. I will get the name and publish it later.
Well as I was driving home during the second crit there was a major accident sending 3 guys to the hospital one guy had a broken thumb. There was a lot of guys with road rash. The accident was caused by a guy who tried to bunny hop a pot hole and landed funny and caused the guy beside him to go down, which then caused the chain reaction. Saw my buddy Chris the next day and he was okay and so was everyone else. But this accident cause the cancellation of the cat 4 and 3 crits so they only had the road race left.
