Excellent day for Nebraskans in KC. Sydney Brown won the open womens race, Craig Schmidt won the master 40+ cat 4 race (23 riders-heck of a number for that class-great job Craig!), and I won the cat 3 race. Had another terrible start, but not as bad as Saturday. At the beginning of the third lap I had worked up to the front 5 riders. We got onto the finishing stretch, 300m paved, with the wind at our backs. The group sat up, and sensing it was a good moment to go, I put in the 46x12 and dropped the group. I opened up a gap of 5 seconds, extended it to 10, and maintained that over the chasers (which eventually whittled down to one guy) over the next three laps to win. A huge thanks to the guys from Nebraska-Nate, Troy, Craig, Mark-who were screaming for me the whole way. What a huge difference that makes, 'cuz you don't want to let them down by being a weenie.
