track

my blog has been empty all week mostly cause cat's hill kinda sucked. tonight at the track tho was really fun. first time back this year and my gear was too easy at 90 inches but neither could dampen the good times.

what's up w "reverse win n out"? instead of racing to win w five laps to go, u race for fifth and then on down. what this is means is the less self respect u have the more u sprint early. what happened, since both ajm and bjm were there, was they let four of us go to battle it out for 2nd thru 5th. I had just a little more self respect than doug and got 4th.

back to back miss n outs was... taxing. managed to get 2nd in 40+ and 4th in p1/2. I am starting to really like that race format. key seems to be to relax up in the front five riders. you only need to really start to sprint for spots when it's down to seven riders or so. big advantage that the jm's started to drive a very hard pace the last four laps or so. made it hard for anyone to come around.

Don't get too involved at the track, as it appears that you are currently the Best Area 35+ 1/2/3 Rider. Keep up the good work, you're a stud. Wonder what one receives (other than RESPECT) for finishing the year in first, cold Pepsi and brownies? Ohhh, you guys get that anyways!!

One receives nothing for finishing first. Bosch did it last year, would be nice to keep it in the family.

And you forgot wet towels as well at the end of races, along w brownies.
