Colorado College Criterium

Yesterday I spun down to watch the criterium at Colorado College for a little bit. I got there during the cat 3/4 race. A couple of my teammates were racing but unfortunately the got lapped and pulled just after I got there.

I stayed for the finish of the cat 3/4 and then watched the first few laps of the womens race. The men had stayed together as a fairly big pack but the women totally blew apart by the 3rd lap. The leader had such a big gap it didn't seem there was a chance of her getting caught.

I don't know if they had safety concerns but they ran the course in reverse of past years. There had been a few crashes after the downhill by the Werner Center. This years course was very non-technical.

I had always enjoyed watching the race on the steep will with the S curve to the south of the Fine Arts Center. However, I never enjoyed it when I was racing. They didn't go down that hill but went a block to the south and came down a gentler hill.
