Sprint Reverse Chase at Point Pinole.
My seeding on the sprint had me starting second to last, right behind a pack of fast guys (Martin, Francois, Syd, Russ, and Tapio all withing one minute) So there was some real pack dynamics going on.
Coming from the back I managed to use this to my advantage. Since I knew the group would head vaguely the right way, I just had to evaluate their progress for mistakes and places to cut time. This eventually worked, and on two occasions I got in front of the pack (at 7 and 9), but didn't transition to standard navigation well enough to hold the lead. I took a gamble on 11 by taking the straight line, while Martin and Francois took a road. I lost about 5 seconds there and never had the energy to catch back up. By the time the course was over, Martin was over 1 minute in front!
