Track Nationals!

Holy Cow, look at all these people!


This is the start gate, it holds your bike, then releases at the EXACT moment you start (I got a little confused, and had a false start because I went on 1 instead of GO...and clipped out)

I'm not behind a fence, it's me behind a netting...Thanks Sima for taking the picture...

Ok. Track Nats have arrived. I started w/ the 3K...w/ almost 20 other women!!
Sarah Hammer showed us how it's supposed to be done w/ a 3:32, Katie Compton took 2nd w/ a qualifying time of 3:50 (in the final, Sarah caught Katie in 6 laps...but Katie had asked if she could keep going because she had come so close to making the time standards 3:49...but someone forgot to tell the lap counter person, so she wasn't able to finish, total bummer for her!)

Here's Sarah Killin' it in the Qualifier...she's so fast I could'nt get the picture close up..
I think Neva Day got silver and qualified w/ a 3:52 (I think), then Kristina King took Bronze w/ a qualified w/ a 3:55....


The rest of us....Kim Giest posted the 5th fastest time w/ a 3:58, then KeleKeleBoBelly at 3:59, Sarah Uhl 4:01....and that's all I can remember.

I was dissapointed not making the finals...but those girls were faster, peroid! So, now I return to training, and I'll try again in January!
