I fail

at my blog.

I'm going to try not to fail anymore.

Starting now.

Last night I did my first omnium of the year at Alpenrose.
I was both happy and dissapointed with my perfromance.
They had the madison before the omnium this week, which means I got a good warm up, as I practiced with my madison partner one last time before the six day. Candi was kind enough to change the rotation and start the cat 4 men before us, since more than half the women's field also did the madison. After getting a chance to catch our breath we all lined up for a 10 lap scratch race. The race really turned about to be a 7 up match sprint. I got boxed in on the bell lap, but still managed to finish in 4th.
Next was I win and out.
I hate wind and outs.
I ended up kind of giving up, I almost quit, then I decided I didn't want to do that, and still got 5th.
Finally was the points race, in which I got second. I got points in every race except for the second. It was a very short points race. There were only 4 sprints. 
I ended up with 3rd in the omnium.
