This race finish came as a surprise to me. I didn't feel great in the beginning, the competition was tough and there was one long up and down hill for the course (I don't like hills in crits). I think that the thing that saved my legs was the fact that I raced up that hill each lap in my small chain ring. Don't laugh, but this small chain ring also landed me my 4th place finish (I passed several people up in the final sprint).
