Yesterday the local club criterium was a combined A and B grade race (45 minutes plus two laps). The field was about 25 with only 4 A graders (two of which happened to be Hayden Brooks and Darren Rolfe). The race broke up early with a group of 10 riding off the front, with little old me in that group. I was stoked, because I was worried about not even being able to stay on the back of this group and here I was off the front in the main split. The sad reality is, I didn't have the legs to stay there and after 25 minutes I exploded (literally; there are still pieces of me all over the circuit). I still feel though, it's a really good sign of things to come. Managed to back it up with a solid 140km training ride the next day as well.
