Last night I went to the Gran Prix at the Great Park (in Orange County) for my second attempt at the weekly training race (it was my second attempt at any race, for that matter), and I finished with the field (Cat 4/5) after an hour consisting of 10 fast (or what felt like fast to me) laps around a 2.5ish mile circuit.

In my first attempt (two weeks ago), I got dropped at the end of the third lap of what ended up being an 8-lap race for the rest of the field. I was a little disappointed then but I had anticipated that I would get dropped at some point, since it was my first ever race.

Needless to say, I feel pretty good about finishing last night. I think I'm making progress!
