This was awesome!
Field was called up based on handicap which put me in the second row. Had a solid start and made it into the lead pack of 7. We rode pretty easy for the first lap and a half and I felt like I was holding back. O'Shea put in a dig on lap 2 which split the group up with 2 up ahead and me and two others in the chase group. We basically traded the lead of that pack back and forth over the next 3 laps as everyone seemed to have a little weakness at different locations around the course.
Halfway through the last lap I was sitting second wheel in the group kind of soft pedaling until the end of the straight where I attacked around the turn and into a few switchbacks followed by another long straight. That dropped one guy. I stayed in the lead into the last 180 turn and hammered out and to the finish just ahead of him for 3rd, just barely.
