Saturday, the first event was the Team Sprint. At State, we had turned a 49.64, and we knew that time was good for a top-five finish if we could do it again. Our start and technique were good, but we rode a 51.1. That’s a lot slower; it’s just an enormous difference. That put us sixth, just out of the podium placings—but we felt that we had done a good ride. Just not up to potential, and it’s tough to walk away from Nationals having ridden anything other than a PR. In any event, that’s what happened—I’m pretty sure my third lap just wasn’t that strong; my legs and lungs felt pretty bad through the second lap and the whole third lap it didn’t feel like I was getting on top of the gear.
Next up, Keirin . . .
