The action in the C race started out very squirrelly, lots of unnecessary braking and swerving. I started at the back this time and did a little fighting for position in the first couple of laps. There was a prime at 4 laps to go, and I jumped on the front for that lap in order to pick up the pace. Probably a mistake, but I was feeling pretty strong. I had two guys slip past me for the prime, and then a break-away formed around myself and three other riders, one of whom had been off the front earlier. A more-experienced rider from snow valley was in the group and pulled us together; he coached our rotation which put us into the last lap with at least ten seconds on the main body and probably significantly more. We fought each other only at the very end, where my lack of sprinting skills caused me to end the race in third. The break was the cleanest thing I've seen in the Greenbelt C race to date.
