Sea Otter weekend did not go as well as I had planned after stage 1, but it wasn’t a failure either. In stage 4, the circuit race, I busted out early to win the first sprint points. Once I had those, no one in the field could catch me and I secured the green jersey! Working hard to win the points burnt me out and I fell off the back of the peloton. Team leader, Andy Jacques-Maynes, of Kenda/5 Hour Energy, got a flat and two of his team members stayed with him. After falling off, I joined them and they let me rest. When I got my second wind, I helped pull them back on. Andy Jacques-Maynes won GC. Simple Green teammate, Louis Meintjes, won the KOM (King of the Mountain) jersey and finished 5th in the GC. Despite not placing as well as I could have, finishing 27th in the GC, I definitely got some recognition from the Pro field and made a few great friends.
