JMSR '12 Stage 4 (Crit)

The mayhem is about to start!
 Wow!!! That was advertised to be one the toughest crits around, and it didn't disappoint. The finish was on a steep uphill with a pretty strong headwind. After staging near the front, I missed my clip-in at least 5 times! so most of my race was spent trying to move up near the front.. For me at least it turned into just hanging on in the last 5 laps.. I ended up with 12th in the sprint up the hill.
One the many turns..

Ouch!! That one hurt.. 
All in all, with the exception of Stage 2, I'm ok with how my weekend went. It was a great learning experience for me. I'm going to all the positives I can out of it....
A big thanks to all who made this weekend possible - Alex for lining up all the housing and logistics and keeping us on an even keel. Rene, our masseuse/soigner. All my team-mates. And lastly my sweet wife Denise for putting up with all of us guys and being so much help all weekend.

Travis,
