****in ****.
1) Hell of a lot faster than I expected.
2) Started in the back of the pack 'cause I was told "either stay in the back, or punch it from the start and don't look back." That didn't work for me. Every turn had me grabbing for brake as the people in front of me were trailing off...then, of course, it was a hell of a sprint just to get back together. Finally got to the middle of the pack, but...
3) Was ridden into the gutter. Not sure if it was by accident or on purpose.
4) Once I fell off from the main group (after the gutter), I lost it.
Very frustrating. Next time I'm starting up front.
