Spinning warm up/down 20:00 [3]
9 AM
Cycling race 28:00 [3] 8.6 mi (18.4 mph)
Fox river omnium day 1.
The weather was shakey before I raced and it rained a bit before Will started, of course right when I started it began to downpour. I think I swallowed 3 cups of water the first half of the race. Then we got shut down because there was lightening so I stood under a tent for 10ish minutes trying not to die of hypothermia since it was 50 degrees out and I was 100% soaked. Then they put us right back out there and we finished the rest of the race...kinda. It started pouring again but I felt really good. I wasn't working very hard and just sitting behind the front. I got both primes which were pretty easy to snag but I went into the last turn of the race too aggressively and completely wiped out. No one else got hurt (luckily or I would have felt bad) but my bike just slid out from under me and I went right across the road into the sidewalk. Nothing too bad just a pretty bruised and road rashy left hip and elbow and scraped up right knee. Didn't hit my head too hard so I just had a little headache right after. Anywayssss I got up and the official came over and told me to walk my bike the last 100m and across the line so I got points. I came in last lol but I still finished!
Really bummed since I would have come in 4th but been the overall leader since I got both primes.
Oh well! :)
Note: not sure of the time because we stopped and I wiped out.
