A great 2 days, but then the crit happened. I was the top finisher in 38th. This moved us down to 4th in the Team Omnium for an anticlimactic end to the weekend.

Basically a sketch fest. 8 corners and 75 minutes. About 15 minutes in, after the second crash, they had to stop the race. Someone was down on the first turn. They restarted with a neutral lap and then it was off. The neutral lap was the scariest part of the race; going 15 across into turns as people were jockeying for position.

After that it all went pretty typical. I hit the front once but was pretty gassed from the day before so that ended pretty quick. With 6 to go Phil crashed and was out. He hurt his hip and has some pretty nasty road rash. In the first turn, on the last lap, there was a big crash. Then a couple turns later I saw Tyler rolling on the ground. Then I flew past Shawn and realized this wasn't going to be good.

Ahead of me there were about 30 guys all gunning for it. I sprinted with the guys that knew they were out of contention and finished 38th. For me, it was a pretty good crit. I was in the top half most of the time and held my position pretty well. I just didn't have the legs to do anything other than follow wheels. For the team it was disastrous. So much so that even CSU beat us.


P.S. I added some Web 2.0 bling to the poll. Please let me know if you have any troubles with it.
