Nutrition: Big thing of rice on the drive down. Gatorade and clif shots as needed (lots). 

A smaller field tonight, only three race and they were short. My favorite. 

I will start doing something new with these reports. I will be racing a lot of track this summer and don’t want to bore you with the details of every single move that happened in every race I do. I divide each night into the races that we do and just highlight one move or one lesson I learned at that race. 

Unknown Distance (1/15)

The race could be between 3 and 18 laps. I followed a move 7 laps in and decided to fully commit to it. It worked out even though it was a little more work that I expected. I think this race is so much luck, but committing to ONE solid effort worked out.

Tempo (1/15)

11 lap race. I knew that would be 5 minutes and I trusted my 5 minute power. I shared points with a couple of people but was driving at the front the whole race. 

Scratch (1/15)

40 laps. Being extra patient paid off on this one. Moves went but I was never the one to close them until the very end. Someone will always get more impatient than you and do the work.
