pleasedNote to self: don't do an endurance race after 4 weeks with no exercise. Because of the soft tissue damage from the crash in Vegas, my doctor told me to avoid the gym until there was absolutely no pain. So that brought me to this race without a single day in the gym, a single bike ride, nothing. By the 19th lap it was everything I could do not to puke in my helmet.
All the real pleasure came after I had crawled off the bike and laid motionless for a half hour.
1. I got 4th place, which is better than expected.
2. I got $35 cash payment from this race.
3. The 1st lap is always slow -- from a dead stop on the grid. My second lap was .1 of a second slower than my fastest lap EVER on this track. The remaining 18 laps were all faster than I have ever gone here before, with a fastest lap of 2:02.0 -- 4.8 seconds faster than ever before. Sweet.
