The Houston Metro Crit began with an inauspicious start time of 7:50 am- we drove to Houston Friday night and roused ourselves at 6am to make this first-time, parking-lot race.
Imagine our surprise when we found the course an interesting series of turns and chicanes! Fun for we happy crit racers!
Rachel attacked from the gun, to be countered by myself, Lori, and I was off the front with another gal for a lap and a half. Jen countered, and true to form, we never saw her again. I ended up in a chase group of 2 Shama Cycles gals, and after some attacks, dropped one.
Jen lapped the field, Laura towed us halfway to lapping them, and Rachel sat in the pack for the field sprint.
With Jen mixed in with the pack, she was able to lead Rachel out, and I came around my girl for 2nd place. Altogether, we got 1st, 2nd and 4th, plus 3 of the 4 primes. Yay, THSJ ladies! Amazing team work and a great finish.
