Racine Crit

Nate on the boxes today at the Racine Crit.

Nate and the last guy left in the break with 2 to go.

Today was the Super week race in Racine. Nate and Mitch toed the line and it was raining right from the start. The was kind of different and that made for some new plans for the race. Right at the start Chris took off and Nate was on his wheel. They kept the pace high for 3 laps and that took a toll on the field and left 8 in the main race. Right when Chris popped Nate sat up and let the field catch and then hit the gas again and got 2 to go with him. They stayed away and then with 5 to go Mitch got a front flat and that took him out for the 4th place finish so that sucked. But he got back in and chased and still got 8th overall. While Nate and his group went on one of the guys in the break went down in a wet corner and that left just Nate and 1 other. As they came up the finish Nate just couldn't get around him and settled for 2nd. A great race and really a great race in the rain. Tomorrow is the Kenosha crit. Oh yeah I did the beat down and got caught in the rain, lighting, thunder, tornado sirens with 4 others. It was a blast. Later..
