At short track that is. I came in 6th in the preliminary results out of 22 finishers. Woo hoo! I get some series points after all! It was, technically-speaking, an easy course, which actually had me a bit worried. But I calmed myself down at the start so as not to repeat last week’s crash, and actually got in a really solid start. Apparently the carnage occured right behind me, so I got lucky. 5 laps, that was tough. Usually my first lap is kind of a freebie, because I am stuck behind everyone, trying to pass. This time I had 5, full-on hard effort laps, and I almost threw up when during lap 4, I was breathing so hard. Damn I love short track!
