The day was rain free and more comparable to a sauna than anything else. The second the women were called to the line, the sky opened up with a monsoon so bad we could barely see. Kat got a sweet call up to the line and we were off shortly after. The field was more conservative today with the slick roads and some faster turns. Luckily, we all stayed safe. With more limited 'matches' I launched an early attack to test the field and found myself a dissatisfied with the result. Attack after attack was launched but the field was all for another bunch sprint even on the prime laps. Kat and I stayed conservative.
On the last $200 prime lap, Carrie Cash was almost being brought back so I took a risk and launched a sneaky attack from the back but going up the opposite side of the road when the field finally realized I could stick it, it was too late and the chase was futile. $200 secured. At this point we only had 4 laps left, so after a brief recovery, I helped Kat get to the front for the sprint but was a bit too toast for the beautiful lead out I saw in my head.the last turn was so slick to the finish, the field pretty much stopped before turning and then dashed madly to the finish 100m away, Kat placing 11th. Like good racers, we got some recovery food shortly after, today in the form of infamous Ted Drewes Custard. Perfection.
Big plans today and hoping for dry weather!
