Saturday, October 6th

So, this is the last day. Two events today: Team Sprint, and the Keirin.

The Team Sprint is three laps, 750 meters. Three riders, each of whom takes the lead for a lap. On our team, Ted rides the first lap, Taylor rides the second, and I ride the third. It was a good combination for us--at national qualifiers, we broke the district record and rode a 49.6. If we repeat that, we could get top-5 today or better. So we're excited about that; more later after the first round. We'll ride right at 2pm today.

The Keirin is later, and that takes longer to explain, but suffice it to say that there are six riders on the track at a time, and it's a short sprinter's race. I think I have some chance in the Keirin, so we'll see how that goes. That's later in the afternoon, after the Team Sprint.
