5.24.09 City Bikes RFK Criterium: Washington, D.C.
Cat. 5 / 2nd
Visiting a friend in D.C. for Memorial Day weekend and was lucky enough to be able to jump into the Cat. 5 race at the last minute. Tried my first breakaway. My solo effort quickly became a two-man break with a pretty decent gap. After trading pulls for a lap or so, my breakaway partner crashed around a tight turn and I was swallowed up by the pack shortly thereafter. I caught my breath, regrouped, and was able to sprint for 2nd. It felt great to finally get on a podium (one of my goals for this season).
