So this was clearly a good outing for the team.  The team size was limited to 6 riders max, which meant a roster of Schildge, Timmerman, Weller, Lindine, Driscoll, and myself.  Clearly, we had depth on our side as well as the confidence that we had the race won with Schildge if it came down to a sprint.  On paper, it looked as if that may very well be the case with only one small hill per lap in the road race.  But mother nature had other plans as the extreme heat (upwards of 95 degrees both days) and steady cross-winds shattered the 120 rider field by the finish of the road race.  Fortunately, this also favored our squad with Driscoll and I making the final selection of 5.  Having covered a lot of the early action (as did Timmerman, Lindine, and Weller) I was pretty smoked and couldn't make an attack stick therefore I lead out the sprint for Driscoll which he won handily.  Sunday morning's team time trial was a little bit too close for comfort, only winning by 6 seconds, but learning a lot in the process which we will take with us for future events.  Win/win.  With Jamey and I sitting 1-2 in the GC all we had to do is lead out Eric in the criterium to sweep the weekend.  However, some opportunists had some other ideas and an early move stuck.  Probably due to the heat and the previous days efforts, the field was content to let it go.  Before it gained too much time I bridged across and sat on it hoping the field would get their act together and eventually pull it back.  But these guys were on a mission and lapped the field.  So on the road the game plan had to change to make sure I beat the 6 riders who lapped the field in the field.  Therefore the team still executed the leadout except I was the main benefactor.  The team killed the leadout.  I won the field sprint only because Eric let off the gas at the end to let me cross first.  The other riders in the break were nowhere in sight.  It was an awesome display of team strength that further emphasized our Team GC victory.
