🚀“Getting too excited” Exhibit A with
🎞 Finally got time to review footage from courtesy of . Here’s a clip from 2 laps to go of saving disaster over the cobblestone turn and me trying to keep us in the fight against superior firepower as we head into the finale.
👨🏻‍🏫 Big takeaways: with only 3 riders against teams like .la and we had to get bold with strategy. I made the call to try and ride parallel to the train rather than fight for sprinters wheels. I proved that I have the firepower and handling to ride up front…but am still learning the proper timing and tactics. I chose disruption and to hit the front at 5 laps to go. 🤦🏻‍♂️ It felt cool to finally be at the front of races again, but was ultimately ineffective and left freelancing the last 2 laps and still got 6th. If I did it again? Wait until 2 laps to go to ride up along side, I’d change the order to be Rex, Me, Kyle, I would keep my self parallel with Cory and wait until the Legion Train started their last pulls to really start my effort.
The big racing lesson: Balance the aggression with patience.
Disrupting the train for the sake of trying to make an impact just pi**es everyone off and they go harder until I explode (my bad y’all). In racing, and leadership, often I make the wrong call…but I own it, learn from it, and get better for next time. The worse thing is to make no call at all.
🌞 Bright side: I’ve got the legs to ride in the wind against the best riders around for 3 laps. That’s cool. Also, even when I mess up the strategy call is such a boss closer he can still manage 6th freelancing.
