Park City, Utah ST

Tomorrow always brings another day...So I hung in there and warmed up for the Short Track race the next day. Heck why not? I didn't have a race planned for quite sometime, so I figured all else fails at least I got plenty of time to recover. So I proceeded to warm-up or more like chat with my friends while riding a bike. I felt alright but not great but it's only 20minutes at most that I would have to suffer through.

We head over to the start line. After the call up we are all kind of chit chatting and hacking and spitting, happy that the end of this high altitude suffering is near. It was pretty funny because everyone was hacking, Georgia Gould "God, we all sound like a bunch of freaking smokers!"

The gun goes off and again I get a great start! I manage to weasle around girls that struggling up the first little climb. It hurts, but "it will only hurt for a little while". I continue to push and push and push, about 11 minutes in the pushing becomes more difficult, fortunately I come through the start/finish and they start pulling us. On one aspect i was bummed to get pulled so quickly because i think others were starting to dwindle and I may of been able to move up, on the other hand I had never been so happy to get pulled...It was beginning to really freaking hurt. I managed to pull off I think 22 which I was pretty happy with concidering my fine performance the day before.

Now off to beautiful Colorado to get the head back together and do some good mountain bike training before nats in July.
