The second Quicksilver Winter Solstice Series training race took place today (the first race in the series was cancelled due to snowfall). I don’t know the participation numbers, but there seemed to be a good crowd. I rode in the “D” race (Cat 5) and did fine. I think we started with about 25 participants and did nine laps. I was in a good position until I was shelled from the front group with about two laps to go. Finished somewhere around 15th I guess. I think there were just a few too many accelerations for me this early in the season. I worked a lot harder then I thought during the race; when I got home I was very sore and passed out on the couch for about an hour. I’ll try again next week and hope to do well enough to be in the mix at the finish.
