Northern Europe Comes to Me

Last night was my last race before going to Belgium. The turnout wasn't very big because it was really nasty out. It was the sort of weather I expect in Belgium; rainy and bone chilling cold, especially while riding. I thought it was appropriate preparation.

It doesn't seem the weather affected Bryan, my teammate. The format was a points race, where on certain laps you collect points towards overall victory. He won a ton of laps and racked up a bunch of points and easily won. I got 4th, which is nice, but I was happier about the team picking up another win. Bryan is firmly in the lead of the summer series at Bethel.

Immediately after the race finished I could only manage one cool down lap because I started shivering so much. Remember, hypothermia can strike at any time of year.
