following up race one in ohio, got my room at the super 8, ordered a pizza and got some sleep. drove to the course the next day around noon thirty. course was a lot faster and less technical than the previous day. i was a bit worried the 42x17 wouldnt be enough. same sixth row callup but the more open course allowed for some more passing. slightly better start. by lap two i worked up to top 25. somewhere along the line i bridged up and before i knew it i was in the top fifteen. the hammer stayed down and we caught tilly who fell off the group ahead. the pace didnt slow much and by the last lap i was in a small group from ninth to thirteenth. i went to the front on the last half and tried to drop everyone. i knew it was a longshot but worth a try. it didnt work. tilly snaked around me with a few hundred meters left. i stuck to his wheel through the sandpit. the canuck cut in on me just before the finish pushing me to the outside. i tried my hand at the sprint again only to come up just short of tenth and a uci point. oh so close. just got word today that the bob is done. pick up tomorrow and then time to get to know the new machine.
