Wow, so Track Nationals was last week and it was so fun. It had its ups and downs, but overall was an amazing experience. My individual time for the 4kilometer race slightly improved, but my Kilo time was actually slower, and I trained more this year than last year... but the wind was CRAZZZZZY, but no excuses!
In 2009, the Men's team pursuit LWC squad ended up 6th, just off of the podium. 2010 was going to be different...
We all had one goal in mind- Ride as hard as we could and PODIUM. Cruise, Kip, Filip and I rode super hard and when we crossed the finish line... our time placed us into 1st place for the time being. There were still 6 or 7 teams to follow us. Two more teams went and our time was still on top, therefore we were guaranteed a podium spot, whether 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5... it was PODIUM! We were all jumping around with excitement, it was a glorious feeling.
Marian and Fort Lewis ended up taking 1st and 2nd, respectively, the LWC Men's crew placed 3rd at Nationals!!!!!!
Don Walker, from Don Walker Bikes, is an amazing person and sacrificed a lot to help the team towards our achievements at this great event.
LWC ended up 8th in team omnium, 2009 we were 6th... so we, as a team, have some work to do. I know I am hungry for more podiums next year at Track Nationals!
