Tour of America's Dairyland - Cat 4 Crit Race Cornering Tips

[@BLaZEjjp]

Thanks Brian! Glad I could help create more lower category content. I love consuming it. As you mentioned I started in triathlon. Got serious in 2018 and culminated with the Madison Ironman in 2019. I then fell in love with cycling with plans to start racing in 2020.. well that didn't quite work out. I did attempt Everesting twice in 2020, failing both times 😆. 2021 is when I actually started racing bikes. Crits, cyclocross, even a WORS mtn bike race. I got serious for my 2022 season last September sticking to a Trainer Road adaptive mid volume plan(6-8 hours/week) based on crit racing. Got my FTP up to 325 at 185lb, about 3.85 w/kg. The cat 4 ToAD series is my "A race" of the year and my top focus. Timing is great too because my first born is due the first week of July!

Guy who pulled the plug at 5:45 here...I dropped my chain there. Just getting myself out of the way. :)

[@BrianDavisraces]

Give Jesse a follow on IG @jesse2dags - any questions/comments for Jesse, he'll be in the comments. Great race Jesse, tighten up that cornering and you'll be racing Cat 1-2 in no time!

Thanks so much! This is quality advice I'll be using in my races. I believe that one guy who bailed in that corner dropped his chain. Also another reason not to be as far back as I was. I didn't realize there was a 2 man breakaway off the front most of the race. 3 laps to go is when the break was caught but I only learned of this after the race. Lessons learned.
