Last Thursday Night Track Training. :(

Thursday night was our last track training for the season. I felt completely exhausted from the week – mentally, emotionally and physically. It was hard to get energy to do the short workout that we did. We did a 20 lap warm-up, a team pursuit and then we did a 2K time trial. I guessed I would come in at 3:25 and I came in at 3:26. I was in pain! Excruciating pain with the 2K. I was totally wiped out from all the racing on Monday and Wednesday and I think the overall exhaustion I felt did not help. Oh well, next year when we start the season with another 2K time trial I hope I’ll be kicking that time by a bit! It will feel good.

About a dozen or so of us went to Cucina, Cucina, in the Redmond Town Centre. We had dinner, had drinks and talked. It was relaxing and fun for all of us to touch base. Several are going to keep in touch with us and try to do winter training together which will be nice. We signed a card to give to John and we gave him his special gift from the track trio divas. It was a black lacy 44DD bra. It is an inside joke but we definitely made him blush and laugh. Mission accomplished. He said next year when we least expect it and totally forget about it – he’ll bring it out. LOL!!! John is a riot…. We like him! He gave so much to the MVA and we hope he’ll continue to give and that we can all give to the MVA next year as well. What a great organization to be part of and to give back to.
