Fun day today. Kudos to the folks at Coonamessett Farm for letting us come down there a tear up their lovely facility. I'd type the long version of the story now, but frankly I'm beat. Here's the short version:
Cat 4 35+: Average nondescript start. Moved up about 8 places on lap one and another 6 over the next two (I think it was two). Was sitting in and riding in third at the bell and then dropped a chain coming out of the sand pit. He got away, I couldn't close, I stayed in third. Good and bad all at the same time.
Masters 1-4: LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG delay of standing around while they took someone out of the sand pit from the Cat 4 U35 race in an ambulance. Really not a terrible start considering I started in the next to last row, but still tons of traffic on the tight technical course. Had no real gas, but I just sort of motored along. As far as results we'll just leave it that it took quite a bit longer to get lapped than I expected. I think it was the top 5 or so that got me and better people than me have been lapped by Mark, Frank, Kevin Hines and those other fast type guys.
On to the big one next weekend. Lots of TLC for the bike this week...
About Me
- trackrich
- I'm mostly just a guy trying to keep it all together. I love my family, my bikes, and my ability to be something that resembles an athlete from time to time. I juggle a job, a house, some training, and all the stuff my kids manage to get involved with. I'd never be where I am without the support of wonderful people like my wife. I'd probably be better off if I traded some beers for some z's. I'd definitely be better off if I could learn not to crash so much.
