Harlem was fun! The hardest Harlem I've done, but it was good to go that hard and really focus on position after not doing a big crit since 2019.

It wasn't too too sketchy though on that course people could touch wheels at any given moment. I did end up ping-ponging around the pack, there were a few sketchy moments, but I stayed safe! (There was some sort of crash on the outside of turn 1 in the middle of the race but I didn't see what happened, just heard it). There was also a bit of standing water on the back stretch (of indeterminate origin), thankfully we didn’t go wave surfing!

All in all a 10/10 Harlem! Will be back for the next one!!
