Race Report-Masters 4/5

Being only my 3rd race after a 25 year "off-season", I was still a lot o time spending time reading other riders. Early in the race I noticed Fast Friday riders grouping at the front so I moved up see their agenda, as we crossed the start/finish line the first prime was announced so I figured I would sit in there and see how that lap went. I sprinted up the hill after the 3rd corner with 2 other rides but fell off to 3rd after the 4th corner (not to self, interval training is my friend), but felt pretty good about my tactics.

For the remainder of the race, I moved around the pack and placed myself near the front for the final lap, just before the 3rd corner I moved up and positioned myself at the tail end of the group that pulled off to lead out to the start/finish to finish 12th.

Overall, I am happy with the race, I just need to work on my sprinting and positioning for future races.
