This is about 2/3 of the Aus Masters Crit race for WMAS 5+..30 mins plus 3 laps. I developed lockjaw from either gripping the jersey of the rider in front with my teeth or grinding my teeth on the head stem. I never got to the front and was lucky not to get dropped. Crits are not my forte..all that slow/fast/faster bit..right out of my comfort zone. Comments were made that it was a good race. The old men started about 1 min in front of us and we caught them after about 10 mins and we lapped one of our bunch twice.I was anywhere from 6th or 7th to ninth over the line, but it turned out there medals for WMAS 5, 6 and 7 so I scored gold in WMAS 7. Its a pity that wasn't passed onto us before the race!! So far 2 golds, 1 silver and 2 fourths.
Since I wasn't wearing a HRM strap you can rest easy...my max was def not 252bpm..although come to think of it....
I drove home and slept!
