WWVC Race Report - RFK CAT5

So after speaking with a friend in WWVC he sent me a blurb of a race report of one of his teammates Michael Alhers who was 4th in my race. Although I have not yet met Michael, I have a feeling we'll have plenty to talk about. Below is a small piece of his RR.

"...The bell lap was fast, furious, and I was full of energy. There were some attacks and I held position, but avoided stepping out of line until the blistering-fast back stretch. Taking advantage of how sheepish most riders were through the corners, I snuck up several positions for the last sprint. We all took off and I was surfing wheels like a champ all the way up to sixth. At that point, two riders just popped and fell back fast, but I hesitated just a bit. Too much. Fourth was secured but straight ahead was a rider from Coppi. I kicked things up a notch but it was just not enough to overcome him. I lost the podium by less than half a bike length. SHIT!! Beat by a Coppi... and he had reflectors in his spokes. Reflectors!! I am disgraced..."

Needless to say, I took care of them before my next ride. haha. I guess that goes to show just how new I am to this sport. Still learning but definitely not performing bad with my lack of knowledge.
