Sunday Criterium Race...

Did a criterium on Sunday and it was the first time I have ever won any money at an event! I came in second behind my buddy Billy and raked in $300 cash combined!  It was a good race, and we planned it out perfectly.  Before the race we did a rundown on what we were going to do.... I told Billy that right off the bat we sprint to the front to get position and dictate the pace, CHECK!  Then our plan was to try and drop as many people as we could then level out the pace so it can be safer... After 3 laps it was just me, Billy and one strong kid left.  We worked together and eventually lapped everyone more than twice!  We felt strong. 40 minutes later of pulling and rotating, Billy took the sprint as I secured Second place trying to block out the kid.  Great race!

I even won a helmet on a prime lap!

Had a great weekend of racing...

Sorry it has been a while since I blogged, I have been busy working and just haven't had the time to sit down an write something.  This weekend I did two races, a duathlon and a criterium in which I had a podium finish on both!  On Saturday I did a relay duathlon, I did the bike portion.  It was basically a 11 mile time trial. I hit it hard the whole way and averaged 24.2 mph!!! That's the fastest I have ever done on this long of a TT.  My runner and I got 1st Place in our division and 1st Place with fastest overall time!!!
