Great two races. I was supposed to do Branchbrook today and South Jersey Training Series tomorrow, but one of my teammates wasn't able to get in the earlier race so I just did two races today instead. The first one was okay, I finish 24 of 67 starters. I could have done better but it wasn't really an issue once I was out of the running. The second race I got 8/21 starters and participated in the sprint. I learned from my last experience about going out too early and this time around I went out too late. I still had some energy to burn when the finish line happened to pop up.
Anyway, this is someone's video of the crash that happened as we started the sprint. It was the most horrifying thing I think I've ever seen. The mixture of components breaking, carbon fiber snapping, and people shouting was absolutely miserable. It got worse when you passed and picked up the smell of burnt rubber. Ambulance came and all the works. The guy looked conscious and all though.
Non-bike related... I saw this dog eating a dead squirrel in the middle of the road today. It was slightly less horrifying than the bike crash. It was a cute little fluffy haired puppy too.
Till next time. A bit less defeat than usual.
Dude you're kicking ass already and you're still pretty new to the sport. I have high hopes for you. If I sponsor you can I get a cut of your extremely lucrative earnings once you start winning national championships?
