That takes some doing. You guys have lots of passion, I dig it. I'm going to love racing with you all this year.<br /><br />I dunno about it being "slow" or whatever, that last 1K felt plenty fast to me -- I was certainly no help to anybody that last lap! I felt like an old man out there :/Rob McDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847753452758242372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-81971924555412273342012-03-06T16:48:10.038-08:002012-03-06T16:48:10.038-08:00I spoke with the Apex guys after the race and that...I spoke with the Apex guys after the race and that wasn't a leadout train so much as an attempt to catch the guy who was off the front. They pulled the whole race for the last 5 miles because no other teams were willing to work. I didn't have any teammates out there, so I didn't help either... but those guys did a ton of work. I respect their efforts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-53417225015898326732012-03-06T16:38:47.774-08:002012-03-06T16:38:47.774-08:00There was a rider up the road and nobody other tha...There was a rider up the road and nobody other than apex was willing to do anything about it. That effort still got two apex guys in the points. That was a chase and we most definitely would have caught him if *anyone* else just got on the horse and organized something. Was it not clear after Eatonville that the rider up the road was capable of staying away? I believe so.<br /><br />The pack wasn't tired, just a little confused and a tad complacent. Psychologists like to call it the bystander effect. Shenanigans, I tell you.billhttp://apexracing.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-15022324395517425232012-03-06T16:21:05.982-08:002012-03-06T16:21:05.982-08:00Nice work Matt!

I think I even moved up a bunch during that last 1K. Probably everyone was just tired, or something.<br /><br />Remember the leadout train you guys (RCR) had at Ballard? I couldn't even move up a single position once that baby got moving. It still hurts, just thinking about it!General Mustachionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-57673259997651174362012-03-06T13:46:58.675-08:002012-03-06T13:46:58.675-08:00I think RCR did all they could in this one.

You had to choose where to rest carefully and did really well in that sprint! IMO, this 3's field is a little too complacent about people going off the front and out of sight. That isn't going to happen at sequim, but you can bet he'll just try it again at mason.<br /><br />.BillBillhttp://apexracing.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-37280168929566263732012-03-06T13:34:02.497-08:002012-03-06T13:34:02.497-08:00Great job Matt.

It wasn't my intention to start the sprint from 900m, but that's how it went down. We ended up 4th and 5th. It was great to see you guys out there animating the race. I wish we could have gotten a little help from the other heavily represented teams to catch that last break, but it is what it is. See you next weekend.<br /><br />TravisTravishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129352243811171062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996512539454415045.post-34755130722155541522012-03-06T10:39:48.204-08:002012-03-06T10:39:48.204-08:00Nice job Matt.....2's???Nice job Matt.....2's???Sean Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10013368558873075703noreply@blogger.com
