This weekend i got to try my hand in a pro 1,2,3 omnium

Friday night was the crit in downtown Lexington. first of all this was my first 3 race let alone a 1,2,3 race and it was under the lights i didn’t expect it to be so fun. the whole race i sat around 15-30 position but, with 5 laps to go i found my self sitting on Rich Harpers wheel 6 position back but then a 100$ preem was rung and he launched an attack i tryed to stay on his wheel but the field gobbled me up. i finished the race 30th, the race had started with 75 people and finished with 47 it was a beat down hard race.

Saturday afternoon was the road race. it was 60 miles with 2 good sized hills on each of the 5 laps oh yah and the race was at 3pm the hottest time of the day. I finished 26 on the day. same as the night before tho 70 started and only 44 finished another beat down race.

finally the last day and the time trial 10 miles of rolling hell at least i had an early start time before it got hot and it got hot. placed 19th.

I’m super excited to race some pure 3 races now with this under my belt.
