January 20: Unabbreviated Tales from the Top of the Track - Part I: National Disaster
OK ... as promised, the unabbreviated version of my race season to date ...
Canadian Nationals
After Christmas I headed straight back to Calgary for Nationals. We had one week of training before two days of racing. Throughout the week, which was pretty cold, I was having a lot of trouble with skidding, but I didn't think much of it, because I often have trouble in training, but seem to have a knack for pulling it all together on race day. But come race day this day, I ... ummmm ... shall we say ... sucked it up, and pretty hard.
