RR: Tuesday Night Points Racing
Wednesday, 20 August 2008
I SCORED POINTS IN THE POINTS RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWICE!!!!!!!!!!! Totally jacked about that since it's the first time all year I've done so.
C Race, 36 laps, points every 6
Field of 10, coed, warm and quite windy
Mice: clm, Liam and Lindy in the Cs
Rolled out and the pace was decent and at the first sprint, the field went nuts and everything kind of split up after the sprint into little groups of twos and threes. Two gals got off the front and when they came around, I hopped on their wheel. I picked the right time to do that since the next lap was a sprint lap and I stayed with them and coming out of turn 4, I was third behind them and then I could tell someone was coming up on my right side, so I pedaled like mad to cross the line in front of that person. I wasn't sure if I'd get the points since I was down a lap, but just in case.....
Come to find out, I did get the points and got points again on another bell lap, but I don't remember when that was. So I was very happy. Finished up that race and changed clothes and became lap card/bell ringer gal for the rest of the night. The plan was to do 4 hard efforts, which coincided nicely with the sprint laps, then ride the rest of the race and call it a day. Had some practice on transitions with Lindy and then another gal doing 1/2 lap pulls. Good practice for the Team Sprint. This is a rest/recovery taper week, so tonight was perfect.
