Great Race, a little slower than the last couple Seward crits but I think it’s because everyone is still a little tired from Walla Walla. I stayed mid pack for almost all race and moved up with 8 laps to go.Greg fell back a bit and I took 3rd wheel behind Tom W from Garage and when he jumped I went with him. We both faded a little on the hill and I sat back down until I heard Greg Yell at me to go, I looked behind us and we actually had a bigger gap than I thought. I shot up the hill and hit the hairpin with Tom but the hesitation had cost me, the pack caught us on the downhill and I faded to the back.

Oh well.

Dan H ended up with the win, Greg got 3rd.

Evan took some great shots and it was pretty cool to have this flash going off as the pack passed him. I heard a couple people comment about it and how cool it was. You can check out all of his photography on his Flickr

Yup, that’s my brother :-)
