I Survived the Breakaway and Got My First B Grade Win...
Follow me as I dive into another Sunday race at Landsdowne Park!This criterium is a fast 2 km circuit in Sydney's South West, and today marked my second time tackling this course. I impulsively decided to jump into this B Grade race since CPCC was covering our club's entry, so I thought, why not? Even though my legs felt heavy at the start, this turned out to be one of my favorite races to date!
About 20-30 minutes in, the winning move happened: a breakaway formed, and we held it right to the end. It was absolute carnage! I run through the entire race, breaking down each key moment, how I felt, and how we managed to make the break stick against the surging main group.
Today was proof that not every race goes to plan, but sometimes that's perfect. Obviously, not every race you can get a breakaway to stick, but this was perfect, and we managed to finish a solid amount ahead of the rest of the group. From not planning to race, to standing atop the podium, grabbing my first B Grade win, it was bloody brilliant! Note to self: next time, take the helmet off on the podium though!
I hope you enjoy this style where I'm narrating the race a bit more and showcasing the raw intensity of the crit.
Happy viewing!
