Breakfast: 6 bananas, 2 avacados In Ride: 8 dates Go to the fairgrounds around 7:30, parked in the mud, and immediately lined up with Alain. Line up was about 50 people long, but moved along pretty quickly. Got my birth year as my race number. Went back to the van and pinned on my race numbers and started to get ready. Didn't show up early enough to do a good warmup, ow well, do it during the first lap. Had a great representation of WCCers at the front of the race start with 10 people. Finally race started and we were off, really like starting at the front for the consistent speed of the the lead out vehicle. Then the race really started and Kent attacked and got a gap. He held it for nearly the first lap. After he got caught, we road together through the start-finish. Some time later Mike P attacked which I followed, then Alain attacked which Mike and I followed, but couldn't snap the elastic. Finally I attacked and couldn't get a gap either. And then I was tired and fell way to far back towards the middle of the pack and could never move back up.  We went through the fairgrounds a second time and I didn't have a good position and fell towards the back, then when we got back on the road the pace was insane (48km/h+) and I could not catch back on. I ended up working with another 2 or 3 people and we couldn't catch back on either. At about three quarters of the way through the lap it was obvious we weren't going to get back on.  Going through the fairgrounds I was seriously debating stopping. I was tired and not in the peleton. So I let the group of three go, but kept riding, eventually I was caught by  a small group of two and we started working together pretty well until the finish. No sprint left at the finish and simply rolled through.  Afterwards talked to the other WCCers, hung out for a while, watched a bit of the next races, and then left. Overall, I had a good time, it was fun attacking, and trying things out rather then just sitting in the pack. I don't care that I got dropped, I would rather try things and fail, then just sit in.
