Brrr..
This past Saturday was the last race of the short track series. My gf was in town and I was more nervous thanks to that fact. Which means my stomach wasn't too happy going into the start. A few tidbits -- it was FREAKING COLD. Too cold for the south. I think I saw snow again. The race started - so that I wouldn't be accused of cutting anyone I let all the girls in front of me. I could hear Taryn huffing and puffing going into the woods the first time.. Didn't sound too good. Neither did Anna's brakes. Screaming the WHOLE race. The race continued much like the last. Maria and I playing tag with each other. The sport girls being lapped by some sandbagging beginners. I wasn't lapped by Taryn & Anna till the very last lap -- which means something to me. Three laps to the end I finally put some distance between Maria and I. Securing my 3rd position for the race and 5th overall. A little upset with myself knowing I could of been in 4th overall if I would of raced sport instead of beginner my first race. I did receive a nice little trophy for 3rd place & a sweet Nascar jersey for finishing 5th overall.Yes -- I had a jacket over top my Black Sheep jersey the whole race.. but Neal Boyd did a great job of telling everyone who I rode for every lap. Pictures are on the way from some folks..
