@Bruce van-Schalkwyk cut yourself some slack. Get a few consistent weeks of training in and I don't think you'll be crawling as slowly back to form as you fear.
Sounds about right.
Bruce, Pee-wee Herman isn't cutting in front of you if you're front row.
Yep.  I was on the line last year and it's the only place to start a crit.  People were so enthused to get to the line that when the women's race was over, a couple of guys pushed off and rolled down, with the announcer telling them to ride back, he hadn't called them to the line yet.  
Guys had lined up on the sidewalk 20 minutes earlier, while I was still trying to squeeze in a warmup.
Finished in the middle of the field yesterday in Raritan. Perfect position with 3 laps to go, but the rider in front of me didn't hold her line. I had to break and I was at the end of the bunch right when the final was starting....

But the race was fun. Lap of 1km and six nice 95° corners  <3:3
Those are some serious names at the top, Ulrike. Top half is a result in itself.

True.
Ulrike looked comfortable every time I saw her in the field.

My own race wasn't so good.  Dropped a bit after half-distance.  The forgettable spring continues.
