ToAD Sheboygan Crit

Here is a link to some of the pictures from the P/1/2 race from Sheboygan. Tough race for everyone, the course was open and had two looong legs that seemed to keep everyone together. I didn't finish great, but Team Wheaton was working really well together. I think we finally are starting to really jive to the same note!!!

The race was a tough one, Team Wheaton took charge of the field by covering attacks from the very start. We were working really hard to get one of our Wheaton guys off the front or to set him up for a sprint. You should have heard the announcer, because he sounded like he is a big fan of our team and commented on our great team work and strategy! We had a lead out train planned for the last 5 or so laps, and got our guys organized up front to keep the pace high and try to curb any attacks.

With 4 laps to go, a stong racer from Melon City, IA attacked and Team Wheaton worked hard to bring him back in and keep it a pack sprint. With 1.5 laps to go, we finally reeled him in, but had exhausted our guys pulling him back. Just as we crossed the line for 1 lap to go, I was next in rotation and pulled hard through the last lap. Just as were about to round the 3rd corner the field swallowed me up and the race turned into an all out pack sprint. I placed in the back because of my effort but we placed Garrett McAllister in 8th for the day. Not bad for a tough course.
