Bare Bones Training Crit #3

Posted by Dan on 14. September 2009 03:14

This Wednesday's race was very similar to the last week's. While it didn't rain (much), the winds were back and as strong as ever. Once again, the back stretch proved the perfect place for attacks. Over and over they came, and each was chased down except, of course, that one that got away. Bill Collins, Mike Stoop and Elliot Craddock somehow managed to slip away. Numerous chase groups formed and became too difficult to keep track of. Gene Fowler, Chris Rosen and Tyler Karnes managed to keep their group out of the fray directly behind the lead group. Whether or not they ever made contact is beyond me as I was sucking wind in the main field. What I do know is that one or more of the chase groups contained team members who had other team members that hung back to thwart our efforts to catch anything. Therein lies this week's lesson: never assume anyone on the front shares your goals. The safe money says their job is to thwart you.
