After West Lafayette, I started loading up the calendar with races. Quad Cities went much better prerace than Lafayette. Got there early, got registered and had plenty of time to warmup and even saw most of the course!!

Small field, short race. Twenty racers, 20 min + 1lap.

Started out on or near the front. Chased down a few little attacks. Then a guy from the Mack team took off on a strong attack, took a while for me to pull him back. Right as I got him pulled back his teammate took OFF! I had no energy to chase him down. I started grinding to keep the gap small, but couldn't pull him back and no one was helping. After 2 laps of that I look back and the only guy behind me is his teammate. He wouldn't pull through since his buddy was up the road. So it turned into a time trial for the last 10 minutes. Guy stayed on my wheel the whole time. I don't know if I outsprinted him or if he let me get 2nd since I pulled him the whole time.

Either way, doesn't matter. I got 2nd.
