Thanks Keith. My first ever race. Poor tactics - I decided to sit in and then look to move up in the last few laps for a for a sprint. Didn't appreciate how tight it would be - apparently there were over 80 riders - and how hard it is to move to the front - there was just no space.

Started moving up when they called 5 laps, but then someone had a blowout right in front of me and I ended up in the grass, that pretty much stopped me from going anywhere. Definitely need to make sure that I'm much closer to the front from the start of the race. Also, didn't help that majority of the riders were 3rd cats!
