30-34, 4th place
With a small field of 9 I knew what to expect. Attacks. After lap 1 we had 2-3 attacks each lap thereafter. I got stuck at the back of the group when an attack of 5 pulled away. They got about 150m ahead when I realized that there were only 2 of us who could bridge. I went alone on the hilly section and by the very end of it (before the fast descent) caught them. Then our lead group of 6 wanted to 'work together' but I was toast. We shook 2 guys and then there were 4 of us. Felt strong in the hills but when the pace increased on the front side flats I struggled. But I expected this since I don't ever train above 30-40 miles. On lap 8 I cracked on one of the attacks so had to ride solo for the last 4 laps to a 4th place finish.
