SATURDAY:today was the UW Whitewater crit. this was a very hard race for me because I walked around six flags for about 6 hours the day before. this race had a lot of stopping and starting with a scary fast decent. Sarah went down on the first lap at the bottom of the downhill where there was a very bumpy driveway. after that it was just caleb and peter on the front trying to pop us team mars people. when the last lap came nate took off at the perfect time and he won but when caleb went with him i didn't have the legs right away and chased to late and caleb beat me by about 1/3 of wheel. it was very close so i got third and gage ended up fourth in points and fifth overall

SUNDAY:today was the UW Whitewater road race. this was a pretty fun race because we had a big group and everyone was doing some work. half way through the first lap we caught the older age group that had started 5 minutes ahead of us. we sat on the back of that group for the rest of that lap then right after the finish line we passed them and then they passed us on the downhill just for us to pass them again about two miles up the road. after that we stayed ahead of them until the finish. with a mile to go until the finish i was boxed in and no one was moving anywhere. up the final hill the kid from Michigan started the sprint and nate went with it right next to him. i had to go around caleb which i did and pass nate and Michigan kid which i did to get the win. I got the win with nate in third(winning the podium)and gage right after nate. i got a sweet lance armstrong poster for winning.
