CAT 3 35+ Brian Bressler Epic. Boring, roadie, flat were the words floating around the queue before the call ups. The course certainly favored the wattsters. I gently hammered to my usual 5th or 6th position into the first turn. I quickly found my nemesis and grabbed his wheel to hang on to for the first lap. By the second lap my nemesis, another rider and I had a decent gap on the field of 70-ish. We traded attacks, the of them could pull away on the long straights and I would reel them in and gap them during the twisty, punchy sections. I gave it all I could up the last hill but it wasn't enough. Third with only a few seconds separating 1st still works for me. |
