Pictures from the last race

So I've finished racing on the track for a bit but I'm planning on more racing later in the summer if it fits within my road schedule but FOR SURE at the end of the season(Sept./Oct.). I raced a decent race, made a couple of bad moves but that's how you learn and I ended up getting second to the Canadian national team chick(sorry, didn't catch her name).

Another interesting part about the race was that the Guatemalan national team was there-men and women. The women weren't too much on top of their game but the men raced a great madison race-which I raced as well. Click HERE to see what the madison is....then maybe check out a couple of YouTube videos-it's such an interesting and intense race....

The L.A. Velodrome is a very popular place for teams and countries to prepare for racing, I think because the weather is pretty predictable for any road riding that needs to be done and the indoor track is just one of the best in the world-it truly is amazing.

So now for the pics.....

This was my mistake move but I still took second....
The group...
I added this picture so you can appreciate the angle and steepness of the track...

Someone joked about how much I sweat, I'm used to it:).....
This is the Madison race with my partner Dan Vogt, it's amazing how fast you can get going when someone hand slings you down the track! WEEEEEEEE
And here she is, my first track bike, she's a bit heavy but a great bike to start on...

Next up...team camp! I'll take pictures and post em when I can!
