Pre-race routine:

Stress--Karen's parents were nice enough to watch Maddie & Amanda so we could race, but by the time they arrived and we got the kids to them and settled in, we only had time for one warmup lap. Not good for the mental state to feel rushed.
Event warmup:

One lap around the track with Karen going over the high points for her.

Comments:

Wind shifted from the normal direction to be coming down the back stretch. This really killed my higher speeds. I normally avg 26-27 down this section but was killing myself to hold 24.5mph on a good lap.
What would you do differently?:

Have someone else wear my number :)
Post race
Warm down:

Rode around to the start/finish line to watch Karen's next to last lap and then rode over to meet her after she finished.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Me

Event comments:

The highlight tonite for me was definitely watching Karen race tonight. She did an awesome job. I passed her about lap 1.5 and was expecting to catch her about every 2 laps. Between my poor job and her great one, I was parallel to her on lap 7 as I was finishing the race. Way to go Karen!
