The crit
There's a climb and a massive headwind on the home stretch. This is sure to hurt.
I was slow to clip in which put me at the back of the Peloton.
It started hot. Attack on the first corner, I had to get around the slower women. Janelle and jess were off the back after lap one I tried to bridge them on but janelle slipped off my wheel.
I caught back on the pack.
Kailee jumped on my wheel because she didn't trust the line if the women mid pack. I went to move forward around the outside, kailee was suddenly gone. I found out later she dropped her chain which isn't good for a free lap.
I drifted back to the back and looked for her. I couldn't see her.

Then I saw janelle and Jess ahead.
They get pulled.
Greg was on the decent corner so the next lap around I looked at him and yelled "kailee?!"
He said something the next time I came around but I didn't know what.
Next time around I see janelle and jess on the sidelines and hear "it's all you".
I'm the only one from the team left in the crit.
I'm tired.
There are 10 laps left
I try and move up and get boxed out on the corner into a curb. I stay upright.
Okay. Pack time works. Don't drop off.
They call a prime at two laps to go.
KR team member goes for the suicide prime. The pace lights up. She takes the prime. The pace stays lit for the final lap.
I barely have a sprint. I finish in the pack.
Usually crits don't do much to change GC. This one did
Kailee drops to 9th from 6th
I move up to 12 from 14.
We go to the beer gardens.
