seriously I have never done a race like that before, I think the total count of corners was each lap was around 27 or 83? I really cant remember because I cant remember any of the course but the smell of brake pads and the feel of burn in my legs as we sprinted out of every corner?  We didn’t just do 1 lap either, we did 10 laps of the Road Race course and 55 laps of the crit course (which only had 5 corners).  The whole weekend was full of 15 second intervals, which to me was more like a training race than anything else as everyone was just doing his best to keep up with the blistering pace that various teams were setting on the front of the race each day.  With the main team controlling the race being Ouch.  They did a great job, but got a little too ahead of themselves in the criterium as they fatigued a little early as a whole.  Although they had me and everyone else on the ropes also, so what they were doing was working well.
Hopefully the intervals set me up well for the coming two weekends of racing?
