Vista Grand Prix Crit Columbia, SC
My son Jeffrey wanted to do the race on Sunday. I thought what the heck, since I was already here, I should do the masters race and at least get a good work out. 1k 4 corners and a hill. I am not a crit racer and less a crit racer in pouring rain, so when the guy behind me nicks my wheel from behind in the third corner of the second lap and all I here is this crashing sound. I wonder at that point of the race what am I doing here? So there is this hill. No big deal, but when you have to fly over it 25 times (because someone had to attack almost every time) it starts to hurt. I bit my teeth together and finished the race. 4th overall (+35) and 3rd in my age group (+45). Even received a medal.

Way to go, Joe! I can relate to not digging crits, especially in the rain, but you're results indicate you may want to try rainy crits more often!
WOW JOE!! Thanks for sharing! That is so awesome! You da man!!
First a $20 preme and now a podium........who says you are not a crit racer?
Great job Joe...I think next year you will consistently be "in the hunt".
WOW! Very impressive. Thanks for sharing.
I'm continually amazed at what our children bring out in us. Way to go Jeffrey! And great job to you Joe.
Great job Joe!!!!!
