Category: 4
Result: Mid-pack

For those that don't know, I upgraded to the 4s this past week, just so that I could wake up at 5AM to race Burlingame at 7AM :). I arrived at the race at 6:15AM, registered, and did a 20 minute warmup on the course. The weather was a bit cool, but nothing to complain about.

The race started at a pretty fast pace and and stayed that way for about 15 minutes. After that, the pace was manageable, with a couple of surges for primes. I hung out at the back the whole time. By the end of the race, I was pretty good at timing how much to accelerate out of corners so that I wouldn't have to scrub speed on the following corner - I was rather pleased with myself :). On the last lap there were two crashes, and to be honest, I thought it was actually a prime until everyone stopped riding hard after passing the finish line. Doh! Overall, not a very exiting race on my part. I'll be more active next week.

However, the 3s race was exciting as Chris won again with a solo breakaway at 2 to go. Good job Chris!
