I missed out on the win by literally a tyre width on Sunday so I was a bit disappointed because I hesitated when I went for the sprint at the end, wondering if it was too early and letting my own sprint be dictated too much by when the guys in front of me jumped… bad idea in hindsight…

Also, something I was surprised by is the fact that I am sitting in 5th on the Summer Criterium Season Leaderboard at the moment!!  Was happy about it at first… and now I just feel even more under pressure…  because now I know I’m 5th, I want to come top 3… but it’s unlikely because the two top leaders, one is Andrew Stalder, who could stop racing now and still have enough points to win… the other is Anthony Smith who also is an A grade rider and will be able to get points without being pushed up a grade… if I get another place I wouldn’t be surprised if I go up to B grade…

I’m a bit nervous at the prospect of this purely because I have to start getting down to doing more uni work as well as working full time and daylight savings coming to an end very shortly means that I wont be able to train the amount that would be required to be competitive in B grade…
