Its hard to resist a race thats 15 minutes from home
Sarah was oncall, but the course was like 5 min from the hospital, so we figured we had a green light on that one. The Lombard Crit for the fall fling is essentially an oval in an industrial park. It was windy, so i used my best common sense and stayed the hell out of the wind! Needless to say i was doing a lot of inside to outside, back to inside moves, all on the up and up. It was a 1/2/3 field, with some decent horsepower, but i would have to say, for a 1/2/3 race with NO turns, it was sketchy at times. I hung out, a few times gritted my teeth for dear life, but survived and was especially happy to see the break finally get clear. Took the bell and decided that was as good as a finish, with 4 guys up the road and 4 between the field, there was no reason to ride the sprint ( especially because i was gassed!) so i swung off on the backside and rolled in to hear Carter cheer for daddy. It was a sunny day with temps in the low 80's, not too shabby for the day before October!
