First Road Race in Philadelphia

Here is race I did: http://phillyphlyer.org/ Mostly a collegiate race but had open time trial and open 3/4 race..
3/4 race had two hills on the loop:) VERY VERY WINDY and cold:)

First in the morning we did team trial. 4 of us started on and three finished.. Out and back course and total of 8.8 miles. It was fun course and of course I was only one without aero bars:) We won the open division. Got 4th best time of day, including Princeton A team was there(all pro guys, only lost by 30 seconds to them:))

So later at 2pm our 3/4 race went off:)

Immedetialy I was anixious and went right to front, one guy got out and I hunted him down and on first hill me and three other guys broke away. We stayed away to start/finish where we dropped two of them cause they got tired from next hill. So then it was just me and another guy(justin) we worked well togther since he was fast on flats and I was fast on hills:) Continued and got around 5 minutes on the pack:) in a 26 mile race. He out sprinted as I am not a fast sprinter yet..

But overeall a fun race. 2nd place is a good start to the season:)
