Figured I was there anyway and needed the checkout ride so I did the evening session. Got third in the 500m, then matched up with the other fast guy in the 2k who had beaten me in the 500.

First 4 laps we were hitting the stripe at the same time and I could here people start yelling "Go, go go!". Turned it up on the last two laps and won by 4 seconds, a bit slower than my time at Nats but I was happy with the ride all things considered. Two jerseys and a medal. Two out of three ain't bad.
