The Sea Otter saga continues
Monday, April 19, 2010 - Race Reports
After a good day's racing on Friday, it was on to the circuit race on Saturday.The race was 2 hours on the Laguna Seca Raceway. Last year we did 30 laps, which took about 3 hours, so it was a bit different race this time.
Right from the start I managed to cover a few moves and ended up in a 3 rider break. Given the Bissell team's results from the last few days, this wasn't super great for us. I waited for Ben's group to bridge up but after some "cat and mousing" I ended up as the only Bissell rider in a break of 5.
This was even worse so I played the team card and sat on. With 3 laps to go I attacked up the climb and soloed in for the victory. It was pretty sweet since, as you know, a win only counts if you do it solo.
However, my excitement was short lived because Eric soon asked if I was big-ringing the climb. I was forced to answer, "No, I still fall short."

I finished 14th and was happy I put in that extra dig at the end because t-shirts went 15 deep.
In other Mach family racing news, my brother's novice four rowed to a conference championship last weekend. Sweet man.
