Well, I had my first crit and it was fun!!! My goal was to stay with the pack and not get dropped or get into trouble - and I hung and didn't wreck or cause a wreck!!! I think I'm gonna' like this racing stuff. I was amazed that I was not scared to be so close to other riders and felt like I belonged there. I didn't really know how to guage energy use - so I just reacted to surges and never went to the front. I just stayed in and watched. Onward and upward!!
