This marks my fourth podium of the season! From a strategic standpoint, this race was the hardest race I've done. There was a very quick, but hard attack at two laps to go which was the main deciding factor for the podium. Anyone who failed to see the attack and respond quickly enough was pushed too far back and lost any chance at the podium. I fortunately called the attack immediately and reached a good position for the final lap. Unfortunately, everyone in front of me peeled off earlier than I expected and forced me to the front. On the final sprint, I was passed shortly before the finish line because I wasn't fresh enough to outsprint everyone. I'm extremely happy with the result considering that I could have easily lost the podium if I missed the attack which separated the lead group from the rest of the peloton. SECOND PLACE!!! :)
I recorded the ride via Strava. Check out my ride through the link below and don't forget to follow me!
I'll post more pictures as they come and post screenshot images from my Polar ProTrainer 5 software too. For now, I'm going back to the event to see if I won the raffle for a pair of Zipp wheels!
