I was pretty nervoous coming into this race - i seem to forget its 'only' a 3/4 & still get really motivated to put in a good ride - i guess it's cos it's the closest crit to home, and i know i can do well.
The win has eluded me though, and i've been riding it for years - best result was 4th in the Elite race, and since i've dropped down to a turd cat, i've finished no lower than 4th.
Anyway, i felt good in the warmup on the turbo, and was on the front row for the start. After a few laps, had my traditional 5 laps off the front on my own, and after i got caught, i was marked every time i jumped (lesson to be learnt there - don't show your hand too early!!). Messed the sprint up a bit, and got 3rd.
Didn't hang around for the invitational race as i'd have had to entertain the children for 2.5 hours, in a cold wind, just for them to watch me get a kicking off the elites!!
