Spring Series 1, river road (imagine a rectangle) B’s

Circuit 6.2km/Laps 13/Total distance 80.6km
13 laps to go
Start of the race, not to slow, not to fast. The main objective for this part of the race was to get to the front.
12 Laps to go
Still a good pace, not to much happening
Laps 11-8 to go
Pace is faster. Attacks were happening everywhere, which were always followed by a chase and then a counter attack. No one could get away, and the speed was fast.
Laps 7-3 to go
More attacks, and the giant whistlers had great positioning.
Jess makes and attack solo and gets a gap. The gap grows with other giant whistlers trying to slow down the pace.
A major chase was formed of mainly the junior men. They were not going to let jess getaway.
Other B’s joined in and amongst the chasers a major crash happened, which resulted in an ambulance being on the course.
2 laps to go
the group is bunched up, but we are moving at a sweet clip. And somehow we get shuffled to mid pack. Which is to far back.
1 to go
1st Major crash, Downtown Laura Brown goes down.
I get on Lisa’s wheel. Her amazing pack moving skills are shuffling us to the front, up the middle. But we are not moving fast enough in the midst of the massive sketchiness and last lap confusion.
Corner 3, super speedy Heather moves up the inside to take the lead from Lisa through the corner and into the second last straight. Sketchiness continues and I’m still on Lisa’s wheel with the one corner to go. My leg was quivering turning the last corner, but we were near the front, and ready for the sprint.
Then there was carnage. Bike and people in the ditch and all over the road. Brake levers pulled and the sprint happened, up the road.
First race over, on to the next.
