on with the 3k, its a pretty boring day up until the 10-5,4,3,2,&1 beeeep.
My start is like pouring molasses out of a cold jar. I didn't even think about the start honestly, just was thinking about when I was going to catch the rider on the other side of the track. Coming into this I knew I'd ride fast hoped for the ride of my life. It didn't happen.
Warren got me all worked up with about 4 laps to go when he said I was down on my track mate on the other side of the track...I was like wtf??? Who is riding faster then me today??
It was good motivation Tainter beat me by 1/1000 of a second for second place. The 333 was the hottest time of the day. I figure I can get there, just need a better start- as Warren said"Its painful to watch your start"
Points racing last night at the track was a blast!. THis was the first time I was in the stands on the outside looking in. The crowd was pumped and cheeery and for sure buzzed. Gary Westby local champagne ace showed up in style with a Magnum of bubbly, lots of good vino in the stands and it seemed at one point I was triple fisted.
Then it dawned on me...every time I've done well at nationals I've never changed my routine except this year when I skipped the beer and vino all week.
A little lovin in the afternoon, a nap, couple of beers, and a glass or two of vino. Thats the secret!
Guess I better go pack up the car to go and pick up our gold today in the TTT:)

Yep, you did not seem to resist when Lanier the elder handed you that glass of wine ... while you had the beer in the other hand.
