Week #2--Oval Criterium

First off, here's a pic from last week's race.
This weekend was the CSU Oval Criterium, which is my home race. While there is another race in town during the summer, the Oval Crit is put on by my former collegiate team, and is a race that I have competed in more than any other race (mountain or road). The Oval Crit uses a course that plays to my strengths more than usual for a crit course, with long straightaways in addition to multiple technical corners.
Two of my teammates came up from Boulder (Iles and Campie), while a third (Darrin) could only watch due to licensing problems. We worked well together during the race, as best as new teammates could. We all spent time off the front in small breakaways, and generally stuck together near the front of the race. This is more than I have experienced racing for other "teams" in years past, so it was a refreshing experience. I look forward to having the complete team racing together.
Looking at pictures of the finish, I believe we all finished in the top 15, and were within feet of each other as we crossed the line (see pic below).
Thanks to Jesse for taking lots of pictures and cheering at the race.
