All or Nothing


You win some and you lose some in cycling. In the crit I tried to get a break away with 8 laps to go. I ended up working to hard and burned a lot of energy, only to be caught with 3 laps to go.

I tried to quickly recover while staying up in the front as close as possible. With one and a half laps to go my buddy went to try and give me a lead out. We got a small gap, but unfortunately it was a little early. At 3/4 of a lap I came around his wheel, but saw some people closing in. With the finish line in sight I got caught by 4 riders on the same team. They came around and I didn't have much left to compete with them. But that is the life of cycling!

This is me getting caught and passed right before the finish line.
