Avondale Criterium Race Report (Greg)

by Greg Chmelik

This was my second-ever criterium event. I entered two races. I am still on the learning curve of cornering while surrounded by other racers jostling for position. I gave up a lot of positions through the corners every lap of the first race but was able to cover a strong attack that came blasting out of mid-pack. That was one of my jobs from Coach Buzz for that race so it felt great to get it done. In the second race, I did better with the cornering and felt better at the end. On the final lap I got caught behind a split on the back stretch but beat all of the second group. This landed me in 8th overall for that race. Definitely making forward progress.

​I was so happy to have my family and teammates there for the event. It felt great to have some fellowship and celebrate our experience as a group. At the end of the day, Gary and I were able to assist the event's medical personnel in the care of a rider who had fallen in the final race. His external injuries were bad but not life-threatening. However, you never know what is going on internally until the patient gets to the hospital for scans. Internal injuries can cause a fast deterioration so it was good to have many skilled hands at the ready. It was great that IC3 was able to be there for that rider. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
