1st finish

Not to be confused as finishing 1st.

Raced the escape route at PR this evening. Nice crowd, Masters group, w/3 other teamies, cool & windy. Several half hearted attacks that nobody would cooperate with, including several by our team & one by me. One good chance for the break (of 3) to survive that I bridged up to towing another guy who didn't help until the last 10 meters of the catch (eyeballs all cross-eyed and we became 5), but that did not survive either.

Ultimately came down to letting "The Criminal" hang out front on a solo attempt for several laps until catching him at the last elephant ear, & us still managing to mess up the Killer Robot train at the last quarter turn to the sprint finish & missing any result in the finale.

Legs felt great, effort to bridge actually help open up legs for later surges and setting up sprint for Craig (went too far out for me to last); and good confidence booster as I continue my build toward beginning of May (1st & 2nd).
