So I decided to jump into the fray and do the A race. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be but then again it is a flat race so as races go it is well suited for me.
I helped chase down 1 break, sort of bridged another one with just over a lap to go (got almost there when some help showed up) and finished in the pack sprint. I was either 13th or 14th out of 35 people. I am pretty happy with that and clearly my early season training strategy is paying off. RE: do what ever Dixon tells me to do.
Based on today I feel like I can try to get in some some breaks this season and perhaps challenge for top 8 finishes which is where the points are. Crit, Haskell (our other Colavita teammate) and I were not really sure what to expect so we hadn't created a race strategy prior to the race but for the rest of the season we will pick one person per race to support and ensure sure the team colors are flying out front. Of course with about 12 OA guys there and 7 to 8 Base36 guys we will have to be smart about how many breaks we chase down and will need to quickly identify who is in the break but it will be great to work on team tactics.
Off to Battenkill!!
