The last 2 days Nate and I have been at the track in Kenosha racing the ABR track Nationals. Nate took 2nd in the kilo, 3k, 3rd in the match sprints, 4th in the 200 meter, and 4th in the points, Then Nate, Kaz, and I raced the team sprint and won that giving Nate a National Championship.

I also raced the masters 30 plus and won the 200 meter took a 2nd in the matched sprints against Kaz, won the kilo, 3k and took a 3rd or 4th in the points to win the omnium and the National Championship for my category. Plus Nate Kaz and I won the Sr team sprint National Championship. So that was the weekend plus a ton of chores before racing the last 2 days.

Yesterday had us wondering if the Nationals would be postponed but it stopped and we got the racing in under sunny skies and temps in the high 80's and felling like 95. I had not done any of these races since before I was in the accident. They were hard and I forgot the pain cave you have to put yourself in for many of the races and nothing like doing 4 of them in a day.

Then today it was 95 and felt like 100 plus and as the racing started in the afternoon under sunny skies. We could see the rain clouds were getting closer by the minute as the races were going on, just the opposite of what we went through yesterday. We got our races in and then tossed the bikes in the back seat to head it home in the rain. Glad I did the racing but also glad they are done as so is the suffering. Back to the grind tomorrow and then the track on Tuesday. To top it off there is football on tonight and I have a water bottle full of water and a big bag of Jelly Belly's while sit in the recliner. Living the dream. Later..
