As you all know, I've been trying to get fit for track nationals. This past Saturday was my third trip to T-Town this season. I've spent 2 Tuesday nights racing with the Cat 2's and 3's. I can hang on pretty good with those guys, but when they throw us in with the Cat 1/ pros for the long points race, it's "hang on for dear life". Last Tuesday, Bobby Lee (Olympian 2008), made us look like girl scouts.
Saturday is Masters 30+ racing. I was hoping to ride the cat 3-4 masters. The first race was an 18 lap points race and they had cat 1-4 race together (about 35 guys). I got 2 4th place sprints and that got me 8th overall. They asked that I ride with the 1's and 2's the rest of the day. So I did. I was up there a bit, but it was tough. I rode a cat 3-4 points race towards the end of the day and got 2nd.
Nationals are just over a month away. Each time I head down there I feel a little better. I'm going again tomorrow (can't wait).. Rick
