I thought about extending my little break but I decided to get my butt out to the Crit tonight. I'm glad I did. I showed up a little late due to work and jumped in with 35 minutes to go. The pace wasn't terrible, but the heat was stiffling.
I got the legs up to speed and ended up on Mike's wheel with a gap on the field. A break of 4 was up the road and I launched off Mike's wheel to get to them. I think I almost exploded my lungs on that effort and it felt good, I haven't been under that type of duress in quite some time. We got pulled back.
On the last lap one guy launched off the front right after turn one. I jumped to follow and was looking for Rodney but I found Franscisco. He said "go", I said "get on my wheel". I put in a hard effort for 6-700 meters and cut him loose a little over 30mph with a huge gap on the field. The rumor I hear is that he hung on for the last half lap and pulled out the win. I got spit out the back but I considered it "mission accomplished".
BMW Crit Thursday.
