I had a different plan for this race then what happened. I got a bad start because I could clip in at the start and was last out. With this race being semi technical with the turns I needed a good start as I found out. I could not get around the racers as they all were fighting to hold their positions. I would make a move up on the inside or outside only to get closed out on the turns. It was a battle the whole race to move out of the back. With 7 laps to go I forced myself up to near the middle but couldn't get any higher because the pack was to bunched up and were not allowing anyone to fall back into the pack. I didn't hold back but wasted a lot of energy trying to move up only to fall back on the turns by being too far to the inside or outside. I could not get into the pack to get a good line. Well next week a 40 mile road race, no excuse for being shut out due to turns. I didn't feel too bad in the race.
