race

we got out of breck for the weekend, visited a little town called aspen, ah, california. great sushi saturday night, good accommodations and a crit thru town. i have been riding a fair bit, i thought the form was coming along but i wasn't sure where it would take me in a real race. being my third race of the year i was skeptical. with a paired down field and a mixture of the threes and p12 fields it was going to be a bit sketchy. i got out front early and avoided the mess that i was sure was going on behind. a mini break happened with me in it! and then a break off of it that i don't really remember how but i missed it and then i was chasing for 45 minutes with a small group but only two of us really did any work. with 4 to go we were caught with the break gone 6th place was on the line, pretty dissapointed with myself i went for it in the sprint but could only get second. good legs overall, the race gave me some confidence to have a go at it this weekend in golden.
