Track Night Wrap Up
August 17th, 2007 |Ped joined me for velo nacht. It’s always awesome to have a team mate at the races.
The first two races were pretty much a bust for me and it was looking like the third race was going to be more of the same.
An 80 lap points race is a tough slog and my goal was to stay in the race no matter how many laps I lost. The race started out fast and I felt like hell, but the longer the race went on the better I felt.
I was able to shut down numerous gaps, chase down a break by a couple of Ten ‘n Chairs Squad guys, make a play for the final points sprint and stay even on laps compared to the field.
It must have been all my residual fitness.
I guess some dudes were watching me in the Super Sprint to see me execute the super secret Miss and Out strategy, but I did not have the legs for the short stuff last night.
I’ll be missing the next two Thursdays of racing but I’m looking forward to the final RADIUS event and I am stoked for next year. I got a commitment from Ped to race the madison with me in ‘08.
You all gonna get smacked with our pimp cane one way or another.

Sweet — I wish I could have a positive attitude and be all stoked for next year. But I think there is a big difference between being a slow 4 and a slow 2. Even if you say you are slow as a 2, you’re still a 2 ( a lot to be proud of). Where a 4 who is slow doesn’t have a lot to hang his hat on. He just sort of sucks.
T3, you need a coach.
puffy?
