The first race was a win and out. I jumped typically early and got a gap, which I held to the line. Won and outed. Tony Hall was racing with us, and he got caught in the same situation as I did in that w&o a few weeks ago. Andy caught up and beat him for second place, but he was able to hold on for third. I know how that goes.
Next was a five lap snowball. Lucas attacked early, I tried to catch him. He was able to get the first two sprints, then tony caught up and took the third sprint. For some reason, I don't remember this happening. I was able to beat him for the fourth sprint, but he got me on the fifth. Forgetting about that third sprint, I thought I had enough points to win, but not so much. Whoops. Also, having to keep my garmin upside-down has finally cost me some data. I can't even begin to say how stupid this new rule is. Here's some data of me riding around after the race instead of anything useful.
The final race was a 9 lap scratch. I don't particularly remember the details of most of the race, but Tony attacked around two laps to go, I would say. I caught him coming into the home stretch before the bell lap, and decided to come around him right away because I was worried about the rest of the field catching up. I felt him closing in around turn 3, but far up track. I had to dig deep for this sprint, ending with a photo finish that I probably wouldn't have won without a well timed bike throw.
This concluded the night's racing. I won the omnium, Tony second, Andy third. honorable mention to lucas in 4th. Results here:
I really need to start taking more notes when I race....
