Last weekend marked the start of the track racing season at the Kissena velodrome. It was a nice to be able to get out to the track and race on my new bike for the first time. It was also the perfect day for racing - sunny with temperatures in the mid-70s. Of course I completely forgot to use sunscreen which resulted in some minor sunburn on my arms and legs.
As for the races: there were four Cat 5 races that took place. The first two were 5 lap scratch races, followed by a Miss-and-Out and finally a 15 lap scratch race. I did poorly in the first two races, but finished 6th in the Miss-and-Out and 5th in the 15 lap scratch. What I realized during these races is that I'm terrible at sprinting and generally fair better on longer races.
Seeing as how my goal is to suffer on the track for an hour this is probably a good thing.

we have the tiny legs, for we are better at going and going and going. sprinters look like weightlifters. You should lift more weights and "bulk up".
