tRoPpMaNn-On A wIrE

I went to the season ender for Thursday’s at the Major Taylor Velodrome and had a blast. Lara tagged along and Matt from Turin was there. It was a good time racing after three weeks off. Felt good and would be doing the two day event this weekend had I planned ahead better. And the final count is, racing with the CAT4s as a CAT3:

Race 58, 25.03 flying lap.
Race 59 no place, scratch race, bars came loose at the beginning had a rough start.
Race 60, 3rd place, points race.
Race 61, 6th, Miss n’ Out
Race 62, 6th place, points race.

And for my 2009 track season, fin.

race 53, no place, tempo
race 54, 10th, scratch
race 55, 6th place, miss n out, out of 7, which is was an actual place for me in a CAT3 Race.

Tim came with me. I have a cold. The races were short and the night was cut off because of rain. BAM.

I have accomplished my personal goal for racing track this season and i am now a cat3. I am training for the velodrome challenge at Major Taylor on the 31st at this point. My last major event of my track racing “career” and it should be fun. After that I will concentrate on more recovery on this knee. The accident certainly has made recovering from racing much harder. Next year? I start considering road racing or scuba diving.
