W 3/4
I was supposed to sit in and sprint for upgrade points, but I got bored and sprinted for the third prime and won it. I wanted to attack several times after that, but didn't want to take any chances. McGuire set up their lead out train at the end. I hopped on the back and came around everyone except Taitt and one other Masters woman. Luckily, they scored us separately, and I was able to get upgrade points because there were plenty of women in my field.

McGuire was launching attack after attack. It was playing out to be a great race, and I felt really good but I crashed -- it happens.
