15/10/2011 - Track | Race
Season opener at BBN. B grade. Format: Scratch, Points and Kierin.
Scratch: I succumbed to a mechanical - DNF (cringe).
Points:
Confidence blown to pieces by the previous DNF and an acute paranoia
that the gear I was running was too big - we rolled off.. I raced
conservatively.. 3rd place and confidence restored. There was a
selection mid way through that I chose not to chase, but in retrospect
should have - I definitely had the legs.
Kierin:
Fun but not my bag - finished with the bunch, the pure sprinters
dominated. Need to think about changing my tactics here - sitting in
until the bunch kick will get me nowhere..
Ok
start to the season - will ride more aggressively from now on as self
belief now in a more healthy place (1st racing since accident, etc).
