The Great Race proved to be GREAT!!

So after traveling 14hrs in the car on Saturday, I decided I would go down to the Great Race in Elkhart, IN and do the crit down there. I needed some redemption for my bad luck at the Raleigh Crit in North Carolina. I spent 2 full days just brewing over the little things that cost me having a good showing there. So Houston and I went down and I watched him do the Master's 40+ and then we both did the CAT 1/2/3 race. The field was pretty small about 45 or so, and only 2 big teams were there, NUVO and Metlife. I really didn't now anybody there. About 30min in lit out and was joined by a few others. It ended up being a 12 up break. I attacked again to thin it out and six of us including Houston split and lapped the field. As soon as we caught the field I attacked again and brought 3 of the guys from the break with me. We were working hard and had a decent advantage. On the last lap I countered a jump by one of the guys with 3/4 or a lap to go and soloed in for the win. It felt good to get another victory and lift my spirits going into the Gaslight crit in Grand Rapids today.
