today I went to the velodrome for my certificate training. Foolishly I went up 10 gear inches from what I was riding around town before going because I felt it would be necessary to maintain leet speed. problem: I wasn't used to maintaining a good cadence at that ratio, so was dealing with early track anxiety and a bike I wasn't totally used to for a while. started feeling more comfortable the more I went. instructor wanted me to do 1 more session before I race, but I'm going back much more than that before I pull that shiz

some serious roadies showed up to get certified too and they were killing it. two of them had never ridden a track bike before but after about an hour it didn't seem to matter. lots of fun, will be back
