of rollers and a fast rough  descent. The Cat 4, 5's do 2 laps, 1,2,3's do 3 
laps and the 1,2 pro's do 5  laps (I can't imagine!) The first lap was slow. 
I tried to stay off the front  to conserve energy but it was hard, the 
group was not well organized and few  were willing to pull through. On the 
second lap the pace picked up  considerably. A skinny 145lb'er went off the 
front 
on the big hill, I followed  and was quickly in the "red". I decided to 
back off and try and catch him with  the help of the peloton. However, the 
group was not fast enough and/or not  willing to put in the work necessary to 
pull him back, so he was gone. The  rest of us were racing for 2nd place, I 
tried to open up a gap on the rollers  before the big descent but had no luck, 
however the pace was strong and the  group broke up. 5 of us descended 
together leaving a field sprint to the  finish. I gave it everything I had with 
250 meters to go on an uphill finish.  I was happy to look back after the 
finish line to see that I finished ahead of  the others by a comfortable 
margin. Bittersweet! Felt like a win, but let a  guy go who finished first.
