Pacific Raceways Circuit Race - Sept 4th 2024 - Masters 35+ Last Lap
Last lap of the last race of the year for the Masters 35+ Open category. Peter and Ben on our team, Hagens Berman, are in contention for the wide angle podium for the season series. Peter ends up third on the night and third for the overall series. Ben ends up 5th for the overall series. I believe Gary on our team got 4th on the night and I think I was 6th. Great season and great work team!

Wasn't feeling great in this race. A big break went off at the start, and despite breaks never surviving in the 6pm, I got nervous. I bridged over and that basically blew me up.

Last 3 laps of the weekly bike race in Kent Washington at Pacific Raceways outside of Seattle. This is the Men's Masters 35 Category. Team tactics are becoming more important since some riders are trying to protect their season's standings or improve to make it into the top 5 overall for the year. In this race there is a break of 3 up the road that stays away. On my team, Hagens Berman, we have...

Everett Performance Omnium - Riverside Crit - Final Day - 50+

This is the final day of the Everett Performance Omnium (EPO) and we are in the 50 field. Not as many racers today as on Saturday since not everyone was doing the full omnium. Another fun course. Only about 26 feet of elevation but it all came in one short section of the course. I entered the day in 2nd position overall so I wanted to be mindfull of that and not race stupid, as I am known to do...

This was the Men's 50 Open, Men's 40 4/5, and Women's P/1/2 combined field. Categories are scored separately and there were only 2 women in the field. But the two women were Ivy Audrain (Ventum/Eliel) of TrainerRoad fame and her mother, Tammara Bessette (MTCX). It was cool having them in the race and they were strong.

Boston Harbor Road Race in Olympia Washinton put on by the Breakfast Racing Team. I say it was 50 Open in the video but it was actually just the 1/2/3 categories. This was such a great effort by the team. I think it may be the first time I have ever done a race where I felt like we had a plan and we actually executed on it. Ron Freichs, Acy Roff, and Geordie Romer all did exactly what we planne...

This was the final stage of the Tour de Bloom. I am racing in the 50 1/2/3 category. It is a combined field with the 35 1/2/3 field but scored separately. There are probably about 75 riders left in the two categories. I actually felt a bit better in this stage compared to the previous 3 stages but was really using it as a good training block since I was not close to being in contention.

Great final hill effort!
@@scottrstout It took a bit out of my sprint at the end there. 😁
Great race video! Thanks for posting.
Ive always wondered how these races look from the point of view of a racer. thanks for posting!
You should be racing 7pm.
I do both. Well as much of the 7pm as possible until I get dropped. It’s a long drive for me to do just one race. 🙂
Thanks for posting these. I enjoy watching them and learn a lot about racing.
Hopefully we can all laugh at ourselves from time to time… the guy who came around you and darn near won the field sprint officially has the most unique sprint form I have ever seen :). I cannot believe how effective it was in the end!
Another great video! Love the narration…and you raced well too :)
Great job Kurt!
@@nwnatural Thanks!
What a great race. You and Ron really worked well together, and I cannot believe how many attacks you (and Ron) covered during the race. Killer!!!!! Awesome power, too. It is amazing to see you kick into high gear, 1100 watts and close a gap.
@@scottrstout Thanks Scott! It was a hard race but it sure was fun. I need to learn to save some of those watts for the final sprint. 😜
Cool video!
Thanks!
I love the narration!
Thanks David. I always feel awkward doing it but hopefully will get better. 😅
Correction: I said Joel Brazil got 7th in Unbound XL 2024 but he actually was 8th.
Awesome!!!
Like these races you all put together, good speeds, high intensity. They are exciting to watch.
Thanks! They are a lot of fun. Just wish I was faster! 😊
Great video!
Thanks! First attempt at a voiceover. I will get better…hopefully. 😊
@@salishseacycling your voiceover was excellent.
EXCELLENT finish. With Ron out front you could let Taco Time do their thing and they perfectly led you out! You flew once you put down the hammer and quickly closed that gap to MB. So fun to watch thanks for posting
That was a classic box in! Lots of friendly jerseys everywhere
Wow, max watts on turn 1 lap 1!
I didn’t even realize that. 😂
I did the 50's 3/4/5. That climb was perfect for me.
It was a fun climb I just was not feeling in top form that weekend. 🙂
@@salishseacycling I'm sure the final day at Baker City will be great for us this year ;)
Sadly I won’t be at Baker City. Hopefully next year.
nice!
Thanks!
I've always hated combined fields, it always adds such a weird dynamic to the races
Nate was actually the one on my right when I crossed the line and Lloyd was on the left.
Nicely done. You definitely have that sprint power Kurt
Looking for advice on data overlays. Virb used to work for me but now the mapping doesn’t. Tried Dashware but it won’t read my fit files. I am using a GoPro 10, Wahoo Element Roam and PC with Windows 11. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

My solution is to make sure my footage begins at least 7s before I hit start on my wahoo head unit. Then I trim the footage to match the data. Tedious but simple.
@@mattkneiser_cycling I ended up going with Telemetry Overlay software. Still Learning that program and Adobe Premiere Pro at the same time so it will take a bit before I am happy with my videos. But hey, good for the brain to learn new things. 🙂
Porta potty hill. 😂
I was mostly circulating in the mix behind you, wish I'd known the situation up the road (or that we needed legs for the chase)
Next time. We just need to communicate better. 🙂
Well done, and nice job avoiding the crash! Thomas got a good view of the crash in his video th-cam.com/video/L_PUrEdkEPQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PhNeY-YyyfdWY4cS&t=3348
Yea that’s me coming up behind him in the rear camera 😁
Nice lead-out, and nice video!
Thanks Craig!
Wow, TH-cam is reading my mind. I raced cat 1 in the early 90's, and after some time off the bike, I've spent the past couple years rediscovering my passion for riding. In addition to losing 60 pounds, I've learned that I still have the capacity to suffer while overtaking most everyone on the bike trails. This video is inspiring me to get back in the mix. What was the race distance, and how long did it take to complete?
Race distance was about 47 miles (76 kilometers) and we did it in 1h 56m. average speed of about 24 miles per hour (38.6 km) It has been a lot of fun getting back into it. It is also great to see all the people that have stuck with it for the last quarter century. Since I am racing in the same general location as I was a couple decades ago I have been able to catch up with many old racing friends. At this age the social aspect is as important as the physical.
Fun to see my old team mate Doug Davis
I didn’t get to see much of him after he got in the break. 😁
@@salishseacycling He's clever like that
Loved watching this, beautiful area , long old climb.
Thanks. It is a great climb. Next year that GoPro battery is going to make it to the top. I just need to be faster. 😂
Ayyy I know those guys
Well done
Thanks!
Many of these bikes have a mullet set up. Is that the trick for a fast hill climb?
I did not notice that. Have no clue if it provides some benefit for climbing.
Watching it a 2x speed was even more exciting than being there in person!!
good job on connecting the power data
