First race of the season. Slept in, drove out with Brasel, beautiful weather. The field was a little too small, but that just meant no obsessing over points. It was shaping up to be a perfect first race of the season. Brasel did a ton of work on the front and ended up with a 6th place finish. I would have been happy to follow his promised lead out, but I flatted about a third of the way through. I threw some CO2 in the front tire and tried to chase back on, but I was suffering a slow leak. Pretty disappointing :(
Hopefully I was able to get my "mechanicals" out of the way. I wanted to be more upset, but honestly I did 17 races last year without incident, so I can't complain. Quite a few people were getting flats and at least mine didn't lead to a crash. Plus, I'll get to work out my aggression next Saturday at the Folsom Crit.
