Criterium - Wed, 14th Oct 2009
Today was my first event, 20 min criterium around Lansdowne park.There were three heats in our age division (60 to 64) and I was in heat two. A field of 20 riders started and the speed was on from the start, we even dropped a couple of riders on the first few of laps, with three laps to go we were down to 15 riders then things really got going, down the hill we were hitting over 50kph and up the climb back to the finish line it became one long sprint. The final lap saw a major attack up the back climb spreading the field out, I ran out of legs about half way up and went on to finish in 12th place with the first 9 through to the final on Sunday. I gave it my best shot! Heat one and three were much easier heats......
