Today started early with the usual oatmeal then it was off to the lifts. I took 3 fairly good practice runs and felt good about my ability to ride the course cleanly. Somehow I earned the right to go in the middle of the D1 field since I participated in 4X, that combined with 30 second intervals left me with some concerns about getting caught.
My run went well, I hit lines well and kept my momentum well. When all was said an done it was enough for me to not get caught by the rider behind me and fight off a DFL by finishing 76th out of 80. Omnium is truly a dying art, only 4 D1 men qualified leaving an open spot on the podium. Cross season starts Monday!!!
