On April 19th I raced my first Road race. It was the Ann Arbor Training B race. I went in a little tense but felt good after a few laps. We did fourty laps plus two. Half way through the race Jim Bruce From Lathrup Industries jumped in and rode on the side of me. He gave me a few pointers and tried to help out. On the last two laps Jim told me to get in the the top ten guys and sprint it out. I did so and ended up 8th for my first road race. It was a little chilly.
My next race was the Michigan USAC Race #1 at Pontiac Lake. It was a time trial and it rained enough for the week to make it nice and muddy. It was my first Cat.1/expert race and i ended up with 5th. Although i am only 18, I have to race 19-29 catagory so i am really trying to push it hard to keep up i noticed. I had a great race and hope to run tubeless soon with a new wheel set! Thanks to my dad, i have had some good pictures so far this season!
