BVC Friday - no wins

As predicted, B group is very fast, and building. Thirteen riders tonight..

First race was an Elim-2-scratch, I got boxed into the sprinters lane and was first out :-(

Second race was 4x10 points race. Again fast paced. I think I managed to squeak out a 4th in the first sprint. The rest of the race I was just trying to stay near the front. But there where always at least 4-5 faster riders leading out for the sprint. Avg and norm power numbers did move up a bit from last week.

Final race was a 25 lap scratch race. No one wanted to get a pace line going, there where 2 or 3 attempted breaks that we managed to bridge back up to. I ended up at the front with 6 laps to go, way up above the blue line, with no-one wanting to pass or make a move. I knew that Anthony King was close behind so I dived down with about 3.5 laps to go and lead him out. He really enjoyed that, coming around with a half lap to take first.

This did give me some nice power numbers over 1-2 minutes. But at the end I was down to 323 watts, need to be able to do 400 for one minute.
