That Clock Has Got To Be Fast!

Or maybe it's just the beginning of May and I'm that slow! Yesterday, we got showered out for doing the 500s- next week it will be much nicer. Tonight, the wet finally stopped about 2 hours before race time. It was 200 night at Alpenrose Fast Twitch Friday. My muscles were more like bubble-gum-on-the-third-day twitch. A few factors included:
Being off the bike totally for a week, and lightly another week
It's May
Eating a big shrimp Mediterranean salad two hours before racing- no offence to the Greeks or to shrimp, but that meal is officially on the do-not-eat-on-race-day list.
It's May
The temperature was around... 54ish?
It's May
It was windy
And... It's May

So, my official worst times ever were achieved this evening with a 14.49, 15.04, and a 15.? There was a small group- we got to go until the sun set.

Good news though is that Dean Reed and Bike Central (plugging the folks sthat take care of my track racing needs) scored me a used, but totally awesome pair of old school sprinter pedals- "Go Fast Upgrade" #1

The weather is shaping up, so tomorrow's workout will be warm, yet painful
