Raceday!

So, good news and bad news from today's race in Plainville.

Start with the bad? Okay.

Bad news: I suck at tactics. I'm not confident enough to be aggressive and assert myself at the front of the pack; as a result, I'm always near the back and I can't sprint enough at the end to finish near the front. I started the sprint in about 15th place and probably moved up to 9th or so, which I'm not that psyched about.

Good news: I didn't flip out on any turns, I was much calmer throughout the race, nobody yelled at me, and I kept my line most of the time. That's a start. Also, I feel like my fitness is pretty good.

So now I just need to learn how to race bikes.
