2024.05.09 PPV 3 Win & Out A

Track racing at the Penrose Park Velodrome in St. Louis, May 9, 2024. Testing the waters in the A races! My 2nd A race was this Win & Out, which I can't say was super excited for. Basically it's just like an Elimination race but backwards (The winner of the first sprint wins the race and gets to pull out, the next lap decides 2nd place, then 3rd, etc.) We did eliminations for 1st-4th, then the last lap placed everyone else. Confused? We try to explain it to Matt at the beginning of the video if you listen carefully.
I knew I wasn't going to beat out the field in the elimination laps, so my tactic here was to sit-in and then sprint for the best place possible on the final lap. I attacked at turn 3 on the penultimate lap and gave myself just enough gap to secure 5th place (meaning I won the last lap).
