Sorry for the lack of updates this week! Pretty much all I have been doing is (in cyclist slang), “nailing my head to my stem” at work. I did manage to make it to the Boulder Short Track last night, but only got a 20 minute warm up which definitely showed in the race when my legs loaded up after only a few minutes and I couldn’t really go hard. I ended up in 5th. Full report to come later tonight, but for the sake of entertainment, here are some photos:
Short track socks of the week.
Lining up.
Race Start. I got the hole shot!

I was heckled for smiling too much, but when your legs are dead, you still gotta have fun!
Everyone coming for me once I hit my limit.
Still smiling…
1 more lap of shame!
Thanks sooooo much to the people taking my photos (Cyntha, Junko, Sinjin) and everyone cheering for me. 🙂 Probably no short track for me next week….
If you decided to wear a bikini in the race I think the announcers would be so distracted they might immediately declare you the winner. 🙂
