Friday Jul 22 - Keirin night

Well, a bit late for this, but Friday was Keirin night at the velodrome. Roland, Gavin raced the As. It was just myself in the Bs, with Jen, Brenna and James in the C. Jeremy was out to watch and volunteer. Thanks Jeremy!
This was my first track event since 1996, and my first Keirin ever. we had 7 or 8 in each of A and B groups.
In the As, Gavin finished 3rd, 1st, and fourth in three races. Roland missed the first race, but finished 7th and 6th in the last two.
In Bs, I only did two races finishing 4th in both. I have been fighting a bad cold and cough and didn't want to push it.
In C, Jim was 2nd in all three, with Jen 4th, 3rd and 4th, and Brenna 3rd, 4th and 3rd.
Keirin is a blast. And I've definitely been bitten by the track bug. It would be nice to have a few more Bs and As out there to race too.
