Weekend racing

Well it didn't go as well as i was hoping. Yesterday was a crit in Boulder, it was a .7 mile course. There was and slight uphill finish which burned every time and then you went down an ally way into an S turn and then back on to the finishing stretch. A lot of guys dropped out so the pack blew up very fast. With 2 laps to go a 5280 guy attacked and i went with him hoping to stay away but we only stayed away for a half of lap, his own teammate brought us back? So it was down to the sprint and i took 8th i was hoping for better but o well. Then today was another crit that was 1.4 miles long with a bigger uphill finish then yesterday and o ya that hurt. Then on the back side of the course it was a slight downhill hitting 40mph. With two laps to go i was up towards the front until the hill i dropped back a little then on the last lap going into the finish i tried sprinting but i didn't fell like i was moving, i was passing a few guys but def not as much as i wanted. I ended up 12th. Well the good news is that i get to rest for a while until the state TT, which is 2 weekends away.
